Lucas y Hernández-Gil, in collaboration with Kresta Design, is revitalizing CASAPUERTO, a historic mansion in El Puerto de Santa María, Spain. The renovation focuses on preserving the building's essence while introducing contemporary features. This process involves architectural 'acupuncture,' targeting restoration efforts to fragile sections while leaving areas untouched. The design includes a contemporary pool as a central element, enhancing the living experience. Interventions are treated as large-scale furniture that respect the original structure, resulting in a harmonious blend of past and present aesthetics.
The renovation project CASAPUERTO transforms a dilapidated 17th-19th century mansion in El Puerto de Santa María into a contemporary family home through architectural 'acupuncture.'
Lucas y Hernández-Gil and Kresta Design focus on restoring fragile areas of the structure, creating a blend of original textures and modern interventions that highlight the history of the building.
A contemporary therme, designed as an internal pool, offers a cooling respite during the summer while anchoring the home's design by connecting elegant tiled spaces to the vastness of the sea.
The approach treats new elements as large-scale furniture, integrating bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens in a way that maintains the original architectural dignity and uneven charm of the building.
