High in the province of Alicante, where the Sierra de Bernia traces a natural border between the Marina Alta and Marina Baixa, an abandoned rural house becomes the foundation for a new architectural narrative. The project, developed by Studio Bas<\/a>e, approaches the rehabilitation of this home with a contemporary gaze that remains deeply rooted in tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n

The commission unfolded in two phases: first, the recovery of a side building and the surrounding outdoor areas \u2014 including the swimming pool \u2014 and second, the complete restoration of the main house. The intervention fosters a fluid relationship between interior and exterior: the kitchen, with an island oriented towards a large window, visually connects with the pool and the distant mountains, while an exterior path links the various open-air spaces, including a jacuzzi and a sauna area.<\/p>\n\n

The upper floor<\/strong> has been conceived as an intimate retreat. Here, the master bedroom suite is accompanied by a bathroom, a walk-in wardrobe, and a cozy reading nook, all bathed in soft, diffused light that invites rest. The atmosphere is serene, enveloping, and unmistakably Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\n\n

The project upholds an architecture that honors the spirit of place: stone walls, timber joinery, exposed beams, and a pitched roof clad in Arab tiles are preserved or reinterpreted, while new materials \u2014 wood, stone, steel \u2014 are integrated naturally, without forcing contrast. The result is a home that, rather than copying tradition, updates it with authenticity and care.<\/p>\n\n

Studio Base, architecture from a place of calm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Studio Base<\/strong> was born in 2019 as a vital decision: to create a space for designing and thinking where architecture and interior design are understood as a single discipline. Founded by Daniel Grimalt<\/strong> and Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00f3n Mond\u00e9jar<\/strong>, both technical architects from the Polytechnic University of Valencia, the studio now operates from offices in Moraira<\/strong> and Valencia<\/strong>, with a multidisciplinary team capable of addressing everything from small refurbishments to new builds, restorations, and contract projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their approach is guided by a clear conviction: architecture and interior design should never be separated. Each project is conceived holistically, seeking synergies between space, material, light, and proportion. Their formal language resonates with a Mediterranean vocation: tranquil, timeless, luminous spaces where elegance is achieved through simplicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniel Grimalt, whose childhood was closely tied to the world of construction, upholds the \u201cless is more\u201d principle as a way of life. Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00f3n Mond\u00e9jar, who began his career working as a construction laborer, forged a deep emotional and technical bond with architecture. Together, they share a profound respect for place, materials, and the people who inhabit their projects.<\/p>\n\n\n
