The courtyard typical of twentieth-century homes in the Huerta Valenciana area becomes the protagonist of the entire architectural project: the " renovation" of a village house with the aim of creating a more open, functional layout while preserving its traditional character

In pursuit of this goal, DG Arquitecto Valencia studio, supported by the ancient shape of the home (the wooden beams, the façade and the original window and door frames) sets out to design the project starting with the characteristic courtyard, towards which it directs the main living spaces to underline their importance, and divides them into three functional areas which are then extended into the interiors
