Ciria Álvarez Arquitectos reformed a house in Segasta street, in the central district of Madrid. The enfilada will be the new form of communication between the different spaces of the dwelling as a succession, as opposed to the existing distribution through a corridor.

Ciria Álvarez Arquitectos gives the house a pure, naked appearance, removing all the previous furniture and replacing it with a simpler layout. They introduce a marble-free wall into the master bedroom, separating the headboard, dressing room and bathroom. They also try to preserve the character of the main rooms, restorers and even reproducing what is missing and reinforce it with new materials such as black and white marble.
Description of project by Ciria Álvarez Arquitectos
Reform of housing in Sagasta. Madrid, 2019.
The house is part of a majestic building from 1922 with a façade outside Sagasta Street in the central district of Madrid.
In contrast to the existing distribution through a corridor, the dwelling is thought of as a succession of rooms. One of the best tools of architecture is thus used and an exquisite way of communicating rooms from the Baroque, the enfilade; the connection of the main office-sitter-bedroom spaces that relate to each other physically and visually, creating a classic axis with straight and oblique perspectives that allow the connection between the ends of the house without compromising the character or independence of each room.
At the end of this beautiful axis of perspective, a 2.60 x 2.20m black marble-free wall is introduced into the master bedroom, which serves as the headboard and passage to the dressing room and master bathroom. At the opposite end, there is an edition of the 1656 Plano de Madrid de Teixeira which was in the dwelling and which occupies an area of 2.85 x 1.80m on its 20 planks.
In order to preserve the character of the main rooms, existing doors and decorative elements are restored, reproducing them where they are missing; baseboards of walls drawn with wooden mouldings, ceilings with rosettes and cornices strongly decorated with acanthus leaves and pine wood floorboards in herringbone with perimeter fajes.
The classic timeless image of the house is reinforced with new materials such as black marble for the headboard and white in the bathrooms and kitchen in the largest possible format provided by the tables available from the quarry.
The corridor leading to the office becomes a storage space equipped with wardrobes and with access from the foyer and the office. The cupboards in the main dressing room and kitchen are finished in black lacquer. The interior wood carpentry is completed with the realization of the worktops and bathroom furniture in Iroko wood.
Occupied with so much furniture and painting in its previous state, it is a Sagasta now, of pure and naked aspect.
