The domestic space reflects individuals' activities, behaviors, and actions, where various dynamics and processes coexist as part of daily life. Although each home has its distribution logic according to the time of its design, the needs of its inhabitants, the technologies of the era, and other factors, residential interior renovations often express an interest in recovering old structures and façades, recycling unused furniture, restoring high-quality elements present in coverings and flooring, or directly integrating new features to achieve greater spatial fluidity, lighting, and optimization of surfaces.
According to Josep Montaner, the house is like a microcosm in the universe. Whether dialoguing with the landscape, reinterpreting its history, or incorporating new construction technologies, contemporary renovations of small apartments in Madrid often bring with them the consideration of visual relationships, circulation spaces, and improvements in living conditions, being able to create multi-purpose spaces that adapt to present and future needs. From movable enclosures to multipurpose furniture, today’s architecture professionals articulate different scenarios that combine materials, textures, and colors as a method of transformation and rehabilitation toward a flexible and constantly changing way of living.
