Teruel
Jorge Borondo

The Tetuan neighborhood exhibits a social and architectural heterogeneity characteristic of an area undergoing transformation, shaped by its status as a 'downtown suburb'.

Its urban fabric is filled with unused first-floor spaces, some of which are undergoing their own transformations.

Typically, the main characteristic of these architectures is their impressive concrete structure with pillars and beams, as seen in the case of this 'casa escenario', formerly used as an architecture studio.

The transformation process into a home aims to expose the structure and integrate light from both facades, connecting the street on one side with the patio on the other.

The soft and material nature achieved, along with the mirrors placed on the inner sides of the windows, multiply the brightness inside.

The strategy of an open and clear space allows the house to serve as a versatile setting for combining work, leisure, personal pursuits, and potential activities.

For instance, the bathroom opens to both the bedroom and a flexible space that can serve as a remote working area, a second bedroom, or an extension of the dance or meeting area.
