In Casa Cruda, two levels are clearly distinguished: a renewed base (with floors and walls clad) and an upper part that remains bare, authentic, and untouched. In this way, a single continuous space brings together the new and the existing, the technical and the handcrafted, the repaired and the preserved; a synthesis between past and present that allows time to be inhabited in all its layers.

Casa Cruda repairs a 1960s neighborhood house through a minimal and precise intervention. The project reflects on the legacy of traditional and anonymous typologies, and their connection to contemporary architecture. Rather than transforming, it refines and reactivates what already exists, turning built memory into the driving force of the project.

Far from a conventional renovation, Casa Cruda preserves both previous traces and the scars that emerged during the process, embracing them as part of the material narrative of the house. Through a series of measured gestures, the spatial quality is enhanced: ceiling height and volume are increased, natural light is amplified, and a single open, flexible space is created.

Casa Cruda clearly distinguishes between two levels: a renewed base —floors and rendered surfaces— and an upper part that remains raw, authentic, untouched. In this continuous space, the new and the existing, the technical and the handcrafted, the repaired and the preserved coexist; a synthesis between past and present that allows time to be inhabited in all its layers.
