In the historic center of the small Spanish city of Mediterranean tradition , Castellón , we find the rehabilitation and transformation of the studio-workshop of the poet and artist Bernat Artola into a home for a creative couple . The Vitale studio , author of the change , is able to rescue its roots and tell its story , using small-size ceramic pieces from Decocer .
When the interior designers tackled the renovation of the house , it was in its original state , which has allowed them to recover the essence of the original construction while providing an open look and adapted to the needs of modern life .
RESCUING THE POETRY OF THE SPACE
The result highlights the warm and authentic soul of the space in search of a very functional and inspiring home . The interior designers define this work as “ Rescuing the poetry of space ”, because from within these walls came the verses of the Valencian poet .
It is a project that reflects the commitment to the place , with sustainability and the use of traditional materials and proximity , as is the case of Decocer ’ s small sizes tiles , which is used strategically in several places .
