The House that turns “wrong” into GENIUS

What happens when you refuse to erase the past?

Casa TMolo, designed by PYO Arquitectos, is a careful transformation of a traditional rural structure in Spain. Instead of demolishing the original stone building, the architects preserved its character and introduced precise contemporary interventions in board-formed concrete.

Old masonry meets raw modern structure.
Thick walls coexist with open spatial continuity.
Rural heritage aligns with contemporary design clarity.

This is not a nostalgic renovation.
It’s a disciplined architectural dialogue between past and present.

Watch how material contrast, natural light, and spatial balance redefine what adaptive reuse can be.

    A new residence located in Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood designed as a simple three-story form wrapped in a cedar rainscreen and stretched across the width of the property to maximize views west toward Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Spaces are arranged according to the importance of prospect and refuge. Primary social spaces are located on the top floor where the view is best and where kitchen, dining and living flow seamlessly together in one loft-like space. Private functions — sleeping and bathing — occur on the second level screened from the street. The ground floor contains entry, garage and an opening through the house, front to back — a covered exterior gathering space that frames the view of water and mountain for the passerby at the street.
