It was no possible to extend the area due to planning regulations, so the big challenge was based on orthogonalize the most interior spaces by redeploying spaces, creating disincentives such as shelves, cabinets, etc, which can hide the lack of parallel lines, further unifying levels by eliminating steps, and by removing one of the pillars of the porch that was located close to the pool.

In this way, it acts as a “roundabout” in a space that connects the kitchen to the living room. In other words, simplify the existing geometric complexity of the original house.

The cuisine provided by “Group Altava” is extended and redistributed in its entirety, getting a better connection with dining area, living area, terrace and Patio, making it a social space to meet. All materials has been changed with neutral and natural colors, like a limestone pavement “Balearic gray” in both indoors and outdoors, and an oak floors on the ground floor.
