In El Cabanyal neighborhood is the house rehabilitated by DG Estudio, who has also designed the interior. This area is known for its proximity to the sea and, therefore, it welcomes fishermen, although it is currently reinventing itself in terms of leisure and rest.

The renovated house is located in one of the typical buildings that make up this neighborhood, specifically, on the top floor. Being characteristic for the game that the architects have carried out through the use of different heights.
The goal pursued by DG Estudio team has been to create a new distribution, which is more functional and bright. This has been achieved through a central zone called the day zone, with a maximum height of five meters.

This area is dominated by a large library that will be used by the writer who will live in this house. Also, it can be seen that the main materials are wood and the reddish-toned ceramic material that accompanies the varied heights.

 

Description of project by DG Estudio

"We create a house where the height changes depending on the spaces and their importance, the section work being fundamental in the development of the project."

DG Estudio.

Creating a new, more functional, open, and bright distribution was the main objective of our intervention.

The house is located on the top floor of one of the types listed buildings of the El Cabanyal fishing district that have managed to maintain their original essence despite the passing of the years.

We create a house where the height changes depending on the spaces and their importance, the section work being fundamental in the development of the project.

The house is made up of a series of spaces that surprise us with their changes in height when we walk through it.

The central space whose maximum height is close to five meters is the most important space of the house, the day area.

A large modular Multistrux bookcase, designed in 1961 by the Spanish firm Multimueble presides over the living room, which makes the books and personal objects of the writer that will inhabit the house the protagonists of this large space.

From this room where we find the kitchen, living room, and dining room we can access the rest of the spaces.

Two materials stand out in the performance, the wood and the reddish-toned ceramic material that accompanies the sequence of heights with its changes of direction.
