当我们第一次参观这些由建筑师哈维尔-戈里希（Javier Goerlich）于1922年设计的房屋时，我们发现以前的装修，包括浴室和厨房，占据了以前的天井空间。这种模式在El Cabanyal社区的许多房屋中很常见，降低了室内的空间质量和采光，特别是在底层。此外，当时传统布局的某些方面，尤其是小而无窗的卧室已经过时，不符合现在的品味和需求。
When we first visited these houses, designed by architect Javier Goerlich in 1922, we found that previous renovations, including the bathrooms and kitchens, occupied what was formerly patio space. This pattern, a common occurrence in many houses in the El Cabanyal neighborhood, reduces the spatial quality and lighting of the interiors, especially on the ground floor. Moreover, some aspects of the traditional layouts of the time, in particular small, windowless bedrooms are outdated and do not meet current tastes and needs.
为了解决这些问题，改造后开辟了一个宽大的L型天井，让底层沐浴在宽大的自然光中，新的窗户面向多个方向。我们还修复了原有的水泥地砖、精致的木质木工、墙面和地砖、彩色玻璃窗以及其他装饰细节–包括我们在施工过程中发现的拱顶石膏中的壁画等意外惊喜。现在修复的木工作品，是现代主义工艺的优秀典范，已被重新安置在其他房间，赋予它们新的生命和意义。
To address these issues, the renovation opens up a generous L-shaped patio, bathing the ground floor in generous natural light, with new windows facing multiple directions. We also restored the original cement tile floor, the exquisite wooden carpentry, the wall and floor tiles, the stained glass windows, and other decorative details — including unexpected surprises such as fresco paintings in the plaster of the vaulted ceilings that we discovered in the course of the work. The now-restored works of carpentry, excellent examples of modernist craftsmanship, have been relocated in other rooms, giving them a new life and significance.
布局被完全重新配置：在尊重Goerlich原有结构的前提下，改造改善了通风、空间利用和照明，建立了房间之间更好的连接性。通过这些更新，住宅符合当前的规范和期望。 规模和高度都很慷慨，这在今天的居住空间中并不容易，也不常见。新的木制品已经适应了这一宏伟的规模，与室内3米的高度相匹配。较大的房间与这些尺寸相适应。此外，非常规的特设厨房设计融入了定制的砖和石膏家具，与打蜡的混凝土、复原的手绘瓷砖形成高高在上的色彩条纹，以及橱柜的放置。这个厨房让人联想到瓦伦西亚传统农舍中的简单厨房，它们被称为 “Alquerias”。
The layout has been completely reconfigured: with the aim of respecting Goerlich’s original structure, the renovation improves ventilation, use of space, and lighting, establishing improved connectivity between the rooms. With these updates, the homes meet current norms and expectations. The scale and height are generous, not an easy or common feat in living spaces today. New woodwork has been adapted to this grand scale, built to match the 3-meter height of the interiors. The larger rooms are appropriate for these dimensions. In addition, the unconventional ad-hoc kitchen design incorporates custom brick and plaster furniture, with waxed concrete, restored hand-painted tiles to form a stripe of color high on the walls, as well as the placement of the cabinets. This kitchen is reminiscent of the simple ones found in traditional Valencian farmhouses, which are called ‘Alquerias’.
最终，这个项目是关于更新住宅，在某些情况下完全改变它们，同时保持原有设计的特点和精神。
Ultimately, this project is about updating homes, in some cases transforming them completely, while maintaining the character and spirit of the original design.
