House Interior Renovation in Bilbao
2003/2004

Is the interior home renovation an issue of architectural interest? What is the limit between interior architecture and interior design?
We can only approach these kinds of work to the extent that we can manipulate space and light.
Thus, in addition to the innate labours of structural consolidation, wiring and integral plumbing of the space to be inhabited, we centre our attention on creating new conditions for the future home.
The interior space, approximately 300 m², should have a program of multiple rooms and divisions, an outline dissimilar to the contemporary loft.
Nevertheless, the final proposal includes the ability to simultaneously visualize 270 m² in an open space, connected by continuous oak flooring which contains wiring underneath.
Traditional dividing walls are replaced by sheets of glass and regulating curtain, leaving even toilets open.
To compensate for acoustic problems glass walls imply, tensed canvas acoustic ceiling is suggested.
The concept of flexibility and the multi-purpose idea extends throughout the house.
