01·The brief
Six rooms and a courtyard
A family converting their inheritance — a walled town garden behind an adobe facade — into a small guest house. Six rooms, breakfast under the orange trees, and nothing that would make the neighbours look twice from the street.
02·The approach
Brick vaults, adobe walls
The rooms are brick-vaulted cells around the courtyard, walls of adobe and lime in the local manner; floors are ppressed red cement, joinery is walnut and carbon-steel hardware. Breakfast is served in the loggia; the roof terrace looks to the mountains over the tile.
03·The result
Opened in 2025
The guest house opened in 2025 and runs full through the festival season. The orange trees stayed. Published with the owners' consent.
