The Madrid studio Rubial-Sánchez has carried out the restoration of this house, located in a building of the 1930s, with an original intervention of a fresh and informal character, focused on simplicity and affordability.

The intervention by Rubial-Sánchez is based on the redistribution of the dwelling by means of partition walls of informal aesthetics, executed with 40mm thick MDF board frames, fillings of perfi les metallic and plasterboard. The project recovers the original pavement of hydraulic hexagonal mosaic, which gives the space colour and character. 

Description of project by Rubial-Sánchez

The renovation of this house, located in a building from the 30s of the twentieth century, is divided into two basic estrategies: the recovery of the original hexagonal hydraulic mosaic fl ooring, rich in geometric drawings and colors; and the arrangement of a two-bedroom house where light and economy of resources were the determinant factors for its development.

Therefore, the action is concentrated in two facing walls, built by 40mm thick MDF board frames fi lled with metal profi les and plasterboards. This solutions aims to emphasize the informal furniture condition of the partitions in order to achieve an original architectural intervention that introduces the partitions of the house within the composition of a simple and aff ordable construction.
