The entire construction was carried out based on the interior architect’s project provided by the client. The spatial design aimed to maximize the interior space, resulting in four spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, and two guest toilets. The choice of materials and the interplay of curves in the elements separating the kitchen from the living room were carefully designed as a nod to the various structures found in Valencia’s City of Arts and Sciences. Additionally, the daytime areas were oriented to fully take advantage of the property’s magnificent views.
As a construction company, our role was to manage the renovation in its entirety, ensuring strict adherence to the project designer’s vision while solving the various complexities encountered along the way.
The renovation involved the complete demolition of the existing spaces to create an open-plan area as the foundation for the new design. The main challenges of the renovation were as follows:
- The staircase layout and width were modified.
- All interior carpentry was custom-made, incorporating different finishes. A particularly complex aspect was crafting the curved wardrobes that separate the kitchen from the dining area.
- The terraces were finished with natural basalt stone placed on pedestals. The challenge was to achieve a level surface between the interior and exterior so that the windows remained flush.
- For the interior flooring, two materials were combined: cherry wood parquet in the living room and bedrooms, and polyurethane resin in the kitchen, bathrooms, and staircase. The difficulty lay in seamlessly connecting both materials.
- To maximize the views, large-format sliding exterior carpentry was installed.
- The kitchen countertops were custom-made using a solid mineral resin.
- Many of the bathrooms were clad with oven-lacquered tempered glass.
This renovation was a true challenge due to the wide variety of materials used and the complexity of their integration.
The result is an impressive duplex penthouse in the heart of Valencia, seamlessly blending minimalism and modernism.
