Plazuela de Santiago Apartment / BABELstudio

Paula Pintos — Fri, 20 Sep 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Located in a historic building in the Old Town of Bilbao, this project proposes the renovation of a home in which the image of the past and the present coexist, emphasizing the choice of natural materials and attention to detail of integrated furniture.

Azkarraga Hamlet / BABELstudio + Bonadona Arquitectura

Andreas Luco — Thu, 19 Aug 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Located on a remote hillside between the Urkiola natural park and the Urdaibai biosphere reserve, the project's site is found slightly set apart from a cluster of historic farmhouses of the Barrio Aldana, a nucleus of listed buildings. The reconstruction of the former Caserío Azkarraga by BABELstudio and Bonadona Arquitectura accommodates three different yet interrelated uses on a plot previously occupied by a two-story stone house and a number of outbuildings. The mid-19th-century original building and its more recent, single-story extension were found in ruins with only the perimetral, partially up to one-meter-deep masonry walls possible to preserve. The roof structure, as well as the internal structural elements, were encountered collapsed due to the building being long-term abandoned.

Apartment Sombrerería / BABELstudio

Alexandria Bramley — Wed, 07 Jul 2021 10:00:00 +0000

The interior renovation project for Sombrerería is located in one of the most emblematic streets of the Old Quarter of Bilbao. Due to its corner position, the interiors have the advantage of having large window openings that provide abundant light and views of the neighbourhood streets.

Oslo Cowork / BABELstudio

Andreas Luco — Mon, 03 Aug 2020 02:00:00 +0000

Oslo Cowork, a minimalist and compact office space designed by BABELstudio represents the new studio of architecture photographer Erlantz Biderbost and a co-working space located in Olabeaga, Bilbao. Situated alongside the Nervion River, the Olabeaga neighbourhood formerly was home to shipyards, industrial plants and warehouses, then left abandoned and forgotten. However, for a few years the area is slowly rediscovered and revitalized. The design brief was to integrate 3-5 working places, a meeting and retreat space, kitchenette, bathroom, and extended storage in a rather small, 39 sqm gross floor area space with double height.
