Patioporche House / Jaime Sepulcre Bernad

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 03 Nov 2020 05:00:00 +0000

The idea of this house seeks to merge the typology of the mediterranean patio house with the local tradition of the rural house from Elche that is uniquely characterized by the use of the south-facing porch.

Architecture of the Afterlife: Crypts, Tombs and Mausoleums

Eric Baldwin — Tue, 04 Aug 2020 04:00:00 +0000

Mortality defines both architecture and human experience. Throughout time, funerary structures have been designed across societies and civilizations to ground personal and shared beliefs. The idea of the afterlife shapes how these buildings are made, from symbolic monuments to vast tombs and crypts. Now a new range of modern architecture has been designed for remembrance and reflection.

Doméstico Fluido House / Jaime Sepulcre Bernad

The idea of this reform was, on the one hand, to relocate the living room and turn it into the heart of the house along with the kitchen and dining room, generating a single large common space that would open completely to the garden and, on the other hand, generate a vestibular space of arrival and circulation that will work in a very fluid way.

Almadenes Canyon Interpretation Center / Ad-hoc msl

Cristian Aguilar — Tue, 07 Jul 2015 05:00:00 +0000

Decades ago, when building an important infrastructure in Spain, it was usual to include living quarters for the caretakers. In our case, it was a hydroelectric power plant, still in operation. However, the dwellings had been abandoned and had fell into ruin. The project consisted in the definition of an interpretation centre that would take the place of those ruins, and the refurbishment of the surrounding area. It was an opportunity for working in a natural setting that had already been intervened on.

Crossed House / Clavel Arquitectos

Daniel Sánchez — Fri, 10 Apr 2015 06:00:21 +0000

On a site in the higher part of a residential zone in the environs of Murcia is located the singular, crossed house with views to the adjacent mountains, the "Sierra de la Pila" and "Valle del Ricote". From the ambiguity, being on a site of a future densely built-up area and at the same time enjoying today’s unsurpassable views, was born the idea of the project: to orientate the lower level of the house to the garden's intimacy and grant to the user at the superior level the delight of its views considering future edification and the influence of solar radiation.

Elvira House / Pepa Díaz

Daniel Sánchez — Fri, 11 Oct 2013 00:00:00 +0000

May 2011, nature devastates Lorca, the house inherited from their grandparents destroyed, their inhabitants recover the pieces of what has remained, they are kept, are their memories, are their history. Plot of patches and fruit trees. From southeast to southwest the mountain of Peñarrubia. Keys: The place, inhabitants and their memories linked to her stuff, their furniture, their woodworks, their objects.

Coffee And Literature Stand / Clavel Arquitectos

Daniel Sánchez — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The company Cafés Salzillo, for their participation in “Coffee and Literature Week”, asked us to build a stand that could be easily and quickly assembled, as it was only going to be used for 4 days at the most. Its purpose was, above all, to promote the company’s special coffee called baroque.

Casanueva Pharmacy / Clavel Arquitectos

Megan Jett — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0000

The pharmacy's sales model has been changing recently, parallel to rules and regulations. Besides the health service of the pharmacy, concepts such as “added value”, “competence” and “visualization” start appearing on the business speech. This 2-story, 180 sqm refurbishment was made in just two months; this was especially difficult because during the first month we were asked to combine sales and building work. This became the main complexity of the building process and the project decisions. Therefore, prefabricating the maximum number of elements was a necessary starting point.

Pantheon Nube / Clavel Arquitectos

Megan Jett — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000

This project involves two images, the first being the medieval unfold-able boards, which worked as removable façades or altarpieces, and are now remade into the zigzagged façade. Death inspires human beings with something between mystery and fear. To die means a transition from this world to an area that no one knows.

Athic Refurbishment / Clavel Arquitectos

Megan Jett — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000

We were asked to refurbish an existing attic in the city. The main requirement from the client was to design a living space to display his personal collection of paintings. On the other side, we wanted to evoke the feelings of a suburban house and take them into the city.

Café del Arco / Clavel Arquitectos

Megan Jett — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000

We were asked to redesign the Café del Arco, a project from the late 80’s, which closely linked the cultural and leisure life Murcia’s downtown. Some of the requests from the client were to enlarge the bar and connect it to the terrace and the adjacent Romea Theater Plaza, to improve the cuisine in order to extend its “tapas” and “dishes” offer, and to modernize and update its look.
