1930’s Art Shop in Spain Transformed into a Fabulous Modern Office

ByMyProperty Life

There are times when you need to cover the existing walls of your home with new finishes for a more polished interior. Then there are occasions when you strip out the excess and unnecessary finishes that have been added to a space over the years to discover its beautiful ‘bones’. Revamped and renovated completely to turn an old art shop that was originally built in the 1930’s into a modern office, the TEN Studio designed by NAM Arquitectura in Tarragona, Spain falls in the latter category with its eye-catching modern industrial interior that is blended with smart organization.

The central idea behind the makeover was simple as the architects stripped away additional layers of plaster and cement that were added over the last century or so to reveal the exquisite brick walls, stone sections and casted steel columns. This essential brings alive the past of the building and links it with the present in a fluid and effortless manner. A new mezzanine level was added to make the most of the double-height interior while four large wooden tables create the work area on the lower level.

  • Collingwood Residence

    Situated on Bowen Island’s West Coast, the Collingwood Residence is located on a private 10 acre lot surrounded by forest. The home is divided into three buildings, connected by the glass breezeways, as an intentional separation of public and private spaces. The breezeways which separate the buildings afford views to the ocean as you approach the house. Social experiences are centered around the open kitchen, dining, and living space located in the central building, while the master and guest suites are located in the buildings to either side. Floor to ceiling sliding glass doors in the kitchen and dining spaces can be opened to extend the living space outdoors to the covered patio with views to the ocean. The local material selection is reflective of the home’s west coast setting: cedar shingles clad the exterior, while the natural stone grounds the home firmly on its site. The large cantilevered dual-pitch roofs with cedar soffits and exposed structure, reflect the traditional forms of the remote cabin, while they are given a contemporary feel with crisply detailed zinc fascias. The building is highly insulated and airtight to limit the need for energy usage throughout the year. Appliances were carefully selected for energy efficiency and low water consumption. Large low-e coated windows and overhangs are sited to maximize solar gain in the winter months whilst preventing overheating in the summer.
