Spanish studio Lucas y Hernández-Gil has designed a Mediterranean-style apartment in Álava, Spain.

This house has been conceived as a mixture between the traditional Mediterranean house – introverted and overturned into a courtyard – and the phenomenological house as described by Gaston Bachelard: a space governed by the power of imagination.

Sunlight shines into the atrium through skylights, windows and an English courtyard-garden that works like an all-tropical urban oasis, into which the entire lower level of the house spills.

This project has been longlisted in the apartment interior category of Dezeen Awards 2020.
