Casc Antic full renovation
Due to change of use of an old premise
At Reformayahorra Group, we transform spaces with cutting-edge design to achieve maximum functionality, adapting to the specific needs of each client. Our complete, personalized and cost-effective solutions integrate bioconstruction and biohabitability, with a focus on reuse, recycling and environmental sustainability, which includes energy valorization.
In this premise built in 1897 it was proposed:
From abandoned premise to functional and bright home
In the Old Town, we transformed an old ruined hairdresser into a modern and functional home. By changing the use from commercial premise to housing:
- Total redistribution: It was divided into a day area (kitchen open to the living-dining room) and a night area (2 bedrooms and a bathroom), with a central technical room for installations.
- Light and ventilation: Windows were enlarged, decorative pavés was added and the hidden sliding doors favor cross ventilation.
- Reused and efficient materials: Demolition wood for furniture, reuse of old doors in tables, light gray ceramic flooring, and windows with thermal break and insulating glass.
- Comfort and technology: Aerothermal energy for air conditioning and hot water, recovered ceilings painted in white, and custom furniture with indirect lighting.
The result: a home with a minimalist design, for a lifestyle for young people, efficient, well lit and adapted to modern life.
Our transparent process and continuous communication with the client ensures that every detail meets the highest standards, offering functional, sustainable and aesthetically impeccable results.
In our renovations we follow a series of guidelines that allow us to offer renovations adaptable to any budget, make spaces flexible, avoid partitions as much as possible, optimize the entry of natural light and use natural materials as much as possible, and we also contribute to the environmental health of the planet by promoting and driving:
1.- Abandon the development model focused on the aggregate growth of the Gross Domestic Product, differentiating the productive sectors that can grow and need investment (for example, essential public sectors such as energy, education, health and sustainable materials), from other sectors that have to decrease due to their unsustainability, especially those associated with the use of fossil or nuclear fuels, mining and non-essential consumer goods.
2.- Prioritize proximity and materialize it, favoring short supply chains. For example, distributed or decentralized generation of electricity is a fundamental part of environmental sustainability. It consists of the generation of electricity by many small generation sources that are installed near consumption points.
3.- Abandon fossil fuels and promote a rapid and just transition to fully renewable energies, which allow the use of a common good, such as solar or wind energy, so that the wealth generated by using, transforming and using it has an impact on the well-being of the whole society and, especially, of the people who live in the territories close to the uses and, that in no case, the use of energy is done with the criteria of the extractive economy that has practiced productivism. Reuse must be promoted and incentivized through the restoration and repair of already produced goods.
