Xativa 20
Calle Xàtiva 20 stands at the edge of Valencia’s historic Ciutat Vella, forming part of the urban frame of the València Nord train station—often the first façade visitors see on arrival. Built in 1925 and later converted to offices (from 1975 onward), the building accumulated interior partitions and incompatible additions that obscured its residential logic.

Palazzo della Luce
The restoration and conversion of the sixteenth-century building, originally built by the military leader Mercurio Bua and used as his private house, located inside the ancient walls of Treviso and overlooking the monumental Temple of San Nicolò, was an opportunity to learn about and deepen the centenary history of this part of the city.
Marco Zanta
Over the centuries, the building has been part of some largest transformations that involved the city of Treviso, from the late medieval period to the present day, passing through the damage caused by the bombings of two world wars and the consequent reconstructions, which partially altered its identity and wrote its destiny, through the conversion in headquarters of several public...

PH LORETO
The PH Loreto project corresponds to the comprehensive renovation of a single-family residence, the fourth of five functional units that form a typical PH ensemble in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Colegiales. It is a mid-20th-century construction that, like many others, had undergone successive partial interventions aimed at gaining enclosed floor area, to the detriment of spatial quality, natural daylight, and cross-ventilation.

The intervention stems from a specific request by the owner: to reorganize the residence to respond to contemporary living dynamics, integrating differentiated areas for living and working, and restoring the possibility of enjoying domestic time, light, and air.... More

CASA 57
An architectural gesture that listens to the past to give voice to the present.
Casa 57 emerges with the intention of recovering the essence of an abandoned colonial house in Mérida’s historic center and allowing the old and the new to meet.
The project began with the certainty that history had to be the starting point.
The original structure, with its double height ceilings and its hidden arch that once connected to the patio, was freed to restore its character. That arch became the conceptual and physical axis, functioning as an invisible line that guides the journey and connects memory with contemporary life.

Grand Hotel Centenari Valencia
The project was commissioned by Valencian entrepreneur Francisco Martínez, owner of the hotel, and is managed by ACHM Hotels by Marriott—a leading hotel management company in Southern Europe, chaired by Antonio Catalán and his team of experts.
Adrià Goula
The iconic building, originally constructed in 1925, features an architectural language inspired by the Chicago School. ERRE’s intervention respects the historical character of the property while adapting it to its new hotel use through a comprehensive restoration process. The hotel’s name pays tribute to the building’s hundred-year history, reinforcing its connection to the past and its architectural legacy.

D_Station
Maxim Loskutov
The former carriage repair depot of Moscow-Kurskaya railway station is an unusual building in a modern urban environment. Built in 1906, it is a striking example of the industrial architecture of the early 20th century, but it has not been designated as an architectural monument. After standing abandoned for several decades, the building has not lost its charm, and has even attracted new visitors. Train spotters come here to watch trains passing by from the roof, while artists organize exhibitions and installations and stage conceptual theatrical performances. So, in 2011, the creative association BLACKMEAT organized an exhibition called "Les", and in 2016 Theater.doc staged the performance "The Tibetan Book of t... More
