Masquespacio presents La Sastrería, the last restaurant they designed in Valencia in the Canyamelar – Cabanyal neighborhood.
The design takes its inspiration from the dream of chef Sergio Giraldo and bartender Cristóbal Bouchet to open their own restaurant La Sastrería, with the help of Grupo Gastroadictos. The aim of the project like in most of Masquespacio’s projects has been to fulfill the illusion of a group of young entrepreneurs, seeking to offer a new culinary and sensorial experience in Valencia.
It was in the Muslim era when the so-called farmhouses were concentrating the population of the Ribera Alta, although some of these settlements had an Iberian origin. Over time these population centers have become places connected to the big city in a simple way and with an enviable quality of life. With all the good that the proximity of a large city offers and all the advantages of living connected to the territory and its culture.

This project borns due to the need to creating a space that covers the neigbourhoods demands of the private residential area of Pobla de Vallbona (Valencia). The project had to fulfill a few determined characteristics, it was sought that these social centers offered a municipal corporate image, also that adapted to different locations, mainly because this social center is built in three different residential areas: that were accessible, wides (156,8m2) and cheap, mainly, very cheap. Here lies the key to the project: Construction + Technician + Taxes < 100.000€ = Module Economy.
Under the Mediterranean character that infuses its location, this house located on a small plot in the Vedat de Torrent pine forest (Valencia), is conceived as an absolute volume surrounded by pine trees that emerges behind a lattice that surrounds the front courtyard perimeter protection the family’s intimacy.
The access takes place through the back of the plot through a “street/garden” that also serves as a parking lot, leading the user downwards and tangentially towards the centre of the plot were a vacuum (living/dining room), under a large volume (bedrooms) becomes a shadow that as a “threshold-space” invites to the front yard, topped by a pool. It is this void in the heart of the house that articulates the entire program, both horizontally and vertically. The ground floor houses the kitchen and its courtyard on one side, and a small guest room with a courtyard, on the other. The basement level houses a multipurpose room illuminated by another courtyard. The bedrooms and a study are located on the first floor, which in counterpoint to the horizontality of the rest of the house, are conceived as vertical spaces.
Located in the center of the city, the project arises to give response to a new clinic whose values are based on an extremely personalized treatment to the client. The layout of the building, which dates from the beginning of the last century, conditioned the distribution.
It was decided to unify the color of walls, floor and ceiling, using a continuous pavement designed by the studio. The tone of this material is applied to the lacquering of the wooden panels and the painting of the walls, to the solid surface of the counter tops, to the faucets, the push-buttons … etc. favoring an environment that responded to the idea of the owners. This dark gray tone intentionally contrasts with the necessary dental care devices, which are shown this way as the main elements of the activity. The irregular space is solved with the entrance hall, creating an interesting perception of space.

The access to the house occurs interchangeably through the back and front side of the plot, through two entrance yards with a jacaranda tree and a concrete bench. The approaching of the house happens in a frontal and horizontal way, through a vacuum in which the spaces of sun and shadow alternate almost infinitely. This threshold-gallery invites to cross the house from part to part without having to access the private areas, tangentially crossing the different spaces with a spine-like articulation.
Alquería House is a modern village cabin located in L’Horta Nord in Valencia region, built attempting to re-interpret traditional rules of a known native typology (patio, pool and house), giving them a more suitable meaning for this century.
The building has an “L” shape, with two different floors and heights that surrounds the central piece of the complex: the patio. This main area, heart of the house, organizes and develops the day and night zones around it, providing them with light and privacy.

On a beach of fine white sand next to the Mediterranean Sea and tucked into the coastline dunes, we come upon a house that was built 80 years ago by a Parisian mayor. This is the preexisting house of rectangular shape with a hip roof and a large enclosed courtyard facing the southeast.
The original house pertains to a previous era marked by a sober, dark, and closed-in sensation that appears to not want to enjoy its Mediterranean surroundings. Its classic interior organization is built around a central hall running from east to west that distributes the bedrooms on either side, almost randomly, and positions the living room at the far eastern end of the house, as far away from the Mediterranean as possible although it is ostensibly so close.
The evolution of technology drives us to adapt the way we live, work, buy….
In this case, it is a big consolidated company that has the determination to create a new business model of e-commerce.
The project consists in providing a space for the offices of this new department within an industrial building built for logistics.
The new era and ecosystems require new ways of working and living in which the users decide how they are going to use the space.
Different types of spaces are proposed, ones more spacious and others more private, more informal…. Spaces that lead to inspiration, to creativity, spaces for concentration, for team work, for the development of ideas….working thoroughly on the relationship between all of them.
