Atienza Maure Arquitectos has restored El Priorato in Trespaderne, Spain.

This project involved the restoration of a 16th-century Castilian house that had been damaged by a fire in 2011.

The original stone walls, staircase with vault, and collapsed arch stones were the only remnants.

The rehabilitation included the addition of new skylights to bring natural light into the space and the reinterpretation of original elements, such as stone arches, transformed into white concrete arches.

"The design aimed to create a playful and hedonistic experience of space, encouraging exploration, and providing a multi-functional space with constantly evolving potential," said Atienza Maure Arquitectos.

This project has been longlisted in the house renovation category of Dezeen Awards 2023.
