Agustín and Pilar lived in an apartment on the first floor of a small building that had been built in phases. It started as a single story workshop followed by an upstairs apartment add-on with a small 2.5 x 2.5 m patio. After buying the workshop, their wish was to unify the levels into a single family home, using all possible gross surface area and extending it with a penthouse. Three architectural elements show up that go beyond the basic refurbishment: a new attic, a new stair connecting it with the rest of the building, and a patio that now extends to the ground floor.
The proposal contemplates the refurbishment of the basement spaces of the Palacio del Rey don Pedro with the aim of welcoming in the near future a selection of pieces of different types belonging to the archaeological collection of the Alcázar, the result of the research carried out in the last years.
The construction of the Mudéjar Palace supposes the destruction of previous Almohad buildings, including the southern wall of the complex that, partially dismantled, serves as a containment to the ground levels. On this front, the building exceeds the limits of the Islamic precinct and saves through a basal body the variable unevenness existing with the old orchards and corrals -current gardens- located outside the walls, constructing the sequence of vaulted spaces that are the object of the present action.
The project is commissioned to design a house for 1-2 people in a commercial space located on the ground floor of a residential building of four floors, addressing its materialization through comprehensive reform.
The construction of the building in which it is located dates back to the year 1970 and is representative of the architecture of the time, presenting a facade free of superimposed ornament whose composition is resolved by the construction elements themselves. On both sides adjoins residential buildings of more traditional architectural language, coexistence of styles that can be seen along the street, located in the heart of Triana. This being one of the most representative of the most traditional Seville, with low-rise buildings for housing and specific small-scale shops on the ground floor of them.
The hotel is located in the Casa Palacio Castelar, a beautiful palace dating from 1880, which has preserved its original structure. The architectural restauration of the Casa Palacio Castelar has been commissioned to the prestigious Sevillian architects Cruz y Ortiz.
The Mercer Sevilla is a unique place where guests can find exclusivity and a singular experience.
A-cero presents a new single-family house located in the south of Spain. A recent work designed this time in more orthogonal shapes but following the criteria of the architectural studio.
This building has got two clearly distinct areas. The first area, a metallic structure, stands as a technologically useful container; it is enclosed by high quality pre-fabricated plate paneling and its floors and ceilings are totally technical. It lodges offices, control quarters, editorial offices, projection rooms, etc. i.e. the parts that share some requirements. The other area houses studios, workshops and warehouses. It was built with concrete walls covered by plain stone.
Located on the river bank, on the site of the Exhibition, the theatre volume rises: one box inside another box. It is a pure volume, plated with natural stone, undressed, with no ornamentation, standing out on the vegetation of the bank. During the day, when the theatre is still dumb, the serenity and beauty of the geometric shape announce it existence, providing Seville with another myth in its look over the river.
Palenque: a platform, ring, area or the like, used for different forms of entertainment, surrounded by seats for spectators and made with posts or stakes. The definition above is a good one for an entertainment area which is physically, detached from the tirening atmosphere of the Fair. This is a Fair for the XXI century and, therefore the building must be technologically advanced, but at the same time simple in its form and easy and fast to build.
Our proposal starts with an existing traditional house enclosed between the side walls of two adjacent buildings in the area of San Lorenzo neighborhood, in the Historical Center of Seville. The origin of the house dates to the late S. XVIII, but it has suffered several modifications in different times till the present.
The old hospital was presenting a conventual domestic cloister altered by successive interventions and that was preserving the optical sense of the wall and the value of intimacy in the perimeter structures. The transformations on the original convent during the hospital period have been hiding part of the past structures and the conventual decoration.
