The Adhoc Arquitectura y Territorio studio has projected the reform of Casa f (x), an old apartment in a block of flats in the Barrio de Santa María de Gracia, Murcia.
The transformation of the house seeks to generate open and green rooms, eliminating corridors and looking for a configuration that allows the connection of spaces, projecting an entrance where nature predominates, transporting you inside the living space.

The transformation of Casa f (x) has been made by the Adhoc Arquitectura y Territorio, following the ideas of generating the largest possible space for living areas, such as the living room, dining room, and kitchen, without forgetting the connected private workspaces with the family space.
The main issues developed in the project are currently in the post-pandemic era, such as the creation of outdoor spaces, gardens, games spaces, rooms for teleworking ... even though the reform was planned before the covid.

Description of project by Adhoc Arquitectura y Territorio
There is a recurring idea that comes to us; Can a high-rise house, in a traditional block, have a large area in contact with nature, a garden? When creating it, should you move the day spaces away from the outside? In this house in the center of Murcia, we propose that the access would be that new exterior, like that garden area prior to entering a house on the outskirts. This led us to generate a new skin in the hall; her own, plastic and translucent that, like a "wormhole", transports us to a new calm and peaceful dimension.
The inhabitants, a couple, their two children and two cats, Metro and Milla, had acquired a house from 1960, with numerous rooms and long corridors that in no way reflected their way of life. In the transformation desires was to generate as much space as possible as a living area: living room, dining room, kitchen connected but that could disappear if desired, ... It also had to have a large work area, where it would not isolate itself if not remain connected to family life. The rest of the spaces are looking for their accommodation around this main space.
The children request a common space for play and sleep that can be divided as desired, with good lighting. For their part, cats also claim their own space, on their own scale. Thus the garden materializes as rolling cabinets, with holes and steps designed so that Metro and Milla can play, while serving as elements that hide the washing area.
Despite being a pre-covid project (the construction was advanced when the confinement was decreed) we have seen how most of the issues introduced in this project are demanded by a wide sector of urban society: greater external contact, gardens interiors, play spaces, tele-work, .. These are issues that must be addressed urgently from the architecture.

Adhoc Arquitectura y Territorio, based in Murcia, began its journey in 1995 with the architect Juan Antonio Sánchez Morales. Since then it has been an open and dynamic space where the constitution of the study has been changing, being made up of professionals from various fields, materializing projects of very diverse scales and typologies as you can see on our website. It is currently directed by Juan Antonio Sánchez Morales and the young architect Joaquín García Vicente, partner since 2014.
