Elisa and Paco, both in their 60s, decide to return to the exact same flat they lived 20 years ago. Located in Saconia, a neighborhood in the north of the city of Madrid, the flat is an example of the many interesting housing typologies of this district, with cross ventilation and open-plan distributions.

When we were asked to renovate this old flat for Elisa and Paco, we decided we wanted to maintain the original philosophy of the flat, while making an upgrade with new materials.

The new design was based mostly on facilitate the needs of its new inhabitants and their everyday-lives. We designed this renovation working side by side with the new owners up to the last detail, they where co-designers of the space and could customise the house to suit them. Organised on the basis of a new space distribution, KSA Saconia still the same house they lived in 20 years ago, but completely updated.
