Complete renovation of an old house in El Cabañal, Valencia.
This distinctive architectural project is the result of a close collaboration between Cicerone and Viruta Lab. The project involved the complete renovation of an old two-story house located on Calle Progreso.
The project’s elegant and understated design flows seamlessly throughout the property, integrating original architectural elements with classic features such as exposed brick walls, high ceilings with moldings, and period-style electrical mechanisms. These are harmoniously combined with modern elements, such as wall fixtures and the circular kitchen hood. As a tribute to the house’s history and its location in El Cabañal, the choice of floor and wall finishes evokes the typical marine ambiance of traditional fishermen’s homes.
The new layout optimizes the limited space on each floor intelligently. On the ground floor, a cozy living area leads to a simple yet elegant kitchen consisting of lower lacquered furniture in stained oak tones. Adjacent to the kitchen, a wooden panel subtly integrates a door that accesses a full bathroom.
On the upper floor, two double bedrooms and a shared bathroom form the space, separating the two rooms. The exquisite carpentry work on this level is particularly notable. The walls separating the bathroom from the bedrooms are clad on all sides with a large wooden paneling system that houses two original doors from the house, rehabilitated and adapted as sliding doors. Hidden ceiling rails allow the doors to be moved to close off one opening or another as needed. A small microcement-covered staircase connects this floor to the roof terrace, where a spacious outdoor area offers the perfect place to enjoy the Mediterranean climate almost year-round.
