AB10 house

The Los Jerónimos neighborhood, with its rich history and the presence of emblematic landmarks such as Retiro Park and the Jerónimos Church, suggests a strong connection to Madrid’s history and culture. In this context, the architectural project Casa AB10, which aims to be a “Madrid house” in its layout, aligns with an approach that both respects and reflects the legacy of its surroundings while embracing modern design.

The decision not to completely eliminate traditional partitioning is significant; it demonstrates respect for the structure and spatial arrangement typical of houses in the region. Preserving certain existing structural elements can be crucial in maintaining the “essence” of the home, which is shaped by cultural, historical, and functional factors. Striking a balance between modernity and tradition is a key challenge in renovating buildings within historic contexts.
