We travel because we need to, because distance and difference are the secret tonic to creativity.
When we get home, home is still the same, but something in our minds has changed, and that changes everything.
Casa Ave 7 is a minimal home located in La Seu neighborhood Valencia, Spain, designed by DG Arquitecto Valencia. Renovating a 19th-century apartment situated in a historic building, was a great challenge for designer. Located centrally within the La Seu neighborhood in Valencia, the dwelling is a unique space where century-old marble floors, Nolla pavements, wooden paneling, and plaster ceilings history are reverently preserved. For designer working in a house with these characteristics has been a great opportunity and quite a challenge. A project that has required great planning and that has been possible thanks to a great team and fantastic clients. They came across the ‘AVE 7 House’ as a partially renovated project. Three of its spaces were found in an optimal state of conservation and later uplifted by the team: the dining room with a beautiful Nolla floor, the living room with moldings that stand out, and the study area where paintings by Antonio Cortina welcome owners upon entry. The main requirement of the clients, which they shared with them from the beginning, has been to maintain all these original elements, transforming the spaces minimally to ensure that the house adapts to the new times, with new facilities, open spaces and all the comforts of a current home.
