Light, Warmth, and Memories in a Renovated Home
The Brief
The project aims to transform a traditional home into a bright, warm, and functional living space while preserving its original character. The goal is to update the finishes, clarify the layout, and enhance the interplay between materials, light, and architecture.
Project Scope
The renovation restores the original wooden structure through a sandblasting process that lightens its tone and increases the brightness of the space. The flooring is replaced with natural wood, and the wall alongside the staircase is covered with herringbone wallpaper, adding texture and visual cohesion across the four floors.
The ground floor is reorganized to improve the living area, while the master suite incorporates contemporary elements without compromising the home’s character. The result is a brighter, warmer, and more cohesive home, where tradition and modernity coexist naturally.
A traditional home is transformed into a bright and warm retreat, where natural materials, light, and functionality redefine family life without losing the essence of La Cerdanya.
Ujo+partners carried out all phases of the project—design, construction drawings, fabrication, assembly, coordination, quality control, and commissioning—ensuring a cohesive, precise renovation that respected the home’s original character.
