This 100m2 penthouse located in the heart of the romantic area of San Sebastián crowns a building by Francisco Urcola, a reference in San Sebastián architecture from the beginning of the century.

​

Given this marked context, the premise was clear: to reorganize the available space while respecting and reinforcing the classical language of the building, its axes, rhythms, and symmetries.

​

The main gesture was to highlight the social area, the core and central space of the house, which is separated from the rest of the rooms through a large wooden volume that integrates the rest of the accesses and the kitchen.

​

A reduced and select palette of natural materials gives continuity and coherence to the entire proposal, a solemn balance that prioritizes light as the primary material, revealing the plasticity of ceilings and columns, bringing the classical language of the building to a contemporary terrain.
