Light, history and design in the heart of A Coruña

A Coruña is situated on the Atlantic fringe of northwestern Spain, on a peninsula that extends into the sea, shaping an urban landscape in constant dialogue with the coastal horizon. Its structure combines a compact historic center with an open and dynamic waterfront, where traditional architecture coexists harmoniously with contemporary interventions. Plaza de Lugo, at the heart of the city’s 19th-century expansion, stands as one of its most distinctive urban landmarks. Surrounded by buildings of high heritage value, it concentrates commercial activity, services, and urban life, while maintaining the stately character that defines this Atlantic city. Its strategic location ensures seamless connection to the city’s main thoroughfares, the Riazor and Orzán beaches, and the nearby cultural and educational amenities that enrich its immediate surroundings.

The northern orientation provides constant, even, and glare-free illumination, a quality especially valued in residential architecture and workspaces. The diffused light received by this façade prevents extreme thermal fluctuations and creates a visually stable atmosphere, enhancing the precise perception of materials and textures.

The residence stands out for its ability to merge memory and contemporaneity within a heritage context of high architectural value.
Each design decision is conceived as a respectful reinterpretation of the past, where original elements are reimagined through a sober, precise, and contemporary language. The garden-gallery, restored and integrated as a luminous filter, becomes the symbol of the project — a transitional space between interior and exterior, history and present.

The material palette — solid oak, natural marble, and discreet technical solutions — establishes an atmosphere of balance and serenity, where contemporary comfort coexists with the stately essence of the original building. The residence not only restores a space, but also reclaims the value of time in architecture, projecting a timeless aesthetic that unites heritage, design, and light in a singular domestic experience.

Located in one of the most sought-after areas of A Coruña, the residence combines heritage value, strategic location, and high construction efficiency — factors that ensure solid and sustained profitability over time. The comprehensive rehabilitation enhances the property’s value by uniting architectural memory with contemporary comfort, increasing its appeal both in the high-end residential market and in premium urban rentals. Its position in the historic center, close to services, beaches, and main commercial axes, reinforces a low-risk, high-stability investment, where architecture and location translate into economic value and long-term heritage durability.
