Overview
Macarena Carrascosa and Adrián López, the founders of Corrigan Arquitectos, have carried out a renovation project as an experiment in itself: a hybrid space that explores new ways of living through materials, light, and environmental sensitivity.
It deliberately moves away from conventional functional or typological schemes, revolving around an environmental question: what if climatic and sensory conditions were the starting point of architectural design? In this approach, architecture does not arise from the program or intended use, but from the conditions that make presence possible. It is not about establishing the boundaries of rooms, but about regulating variables like temperature, light, humidity, sound, and degree of privacy.
Separations are not thought of as a starting point, but rather as a physical response to specific environmental needs. In the open floor plan, traditional divisions give way to a flowing, adaptable layout. Each area requires specific conditions: more thermal insulation, acoustic control, visual privacy, filtered light, etc.
To meet these requirements, the space is configured through lightweight porous materials: metal meshes to delimit without blocking; translucent polycarbonate to filters light; textile curtains to control privacy; and vegetation to structure, screen, and regulate. All of this is executed through built volumes and movable panels that form routes and make the space adaptable.
