When Arana and Ventosa first encountered the three-storey property, it had been abandoned for years and was in a state of severe disrepair. Rather than restoring the house to a specific historical condition, the architects approached it as a blank canvas while remaining attentive to the era in which it was built. Research into modernist villas from the 1930s informed a design language that draws inspiration from figures such as Robert Mallet-Stevens and Piero Portaluppi without ever slipping into nostalgia. Throughout, a vocabulary of curves, circles and graphic motifs lends the house a distinctive visual identity. Arched openings, rounded corners, cylindrical volumes and circular cut-outs recur from room to room, softening transitions and establishing a sense of continuity.
