This project represents the essence of Vora Mar: the ability to transform a completely ruined structure into a home where the past and present coexist in harmony. Located in the heart of Palafrugell, this comprehensive renovation has been an exercise in respect for noble materials and the traditional architecture of the Baix Empordà.

The technical and aesthetic challenge

Our team, led by the three generations of the Serrano family, has worked meticulously on every detail to restore the splendour of this home:

Recovery of the exposed stone: We manually chipped the walls to bring the original stone to light, creating a warm and authentic contrast with the new white, minimalist finishes.

Restoration of the Catalan vault: The ceiling vault, one of the most emblematic elements of our land, was completely restored, guaranteeing its solidity and enhancing its architectural beauty with integrated lighting that highlights its curvature.

Dialogue between materials: The natural wood of the exterior carpentry and the clay floors are combined with a modern-style kitchen with a central island, showing that current functionality is not at odds with tradition.

A timeless result

The intervention has made it possible to create spacious, bright spaces, where the bare stone and the ceramic of the ceiling act as a common thread. The result is a house that breathes the history of Palafrugell, built with the rigour and passion that only 50 years of family craftsmanship can offer under the Vora Mar seal.
