Arquitectura y Diseño, Spain, 2023

In its January 2023 issue, Arquitectura y Diseño published a feature on ÁBATON’s San Mateo Comprehensive Renovation: the refurbishment of a 140 m² flat in a Madrid building from the early 1930s. The work recovered the original mouldings, the interior doors and the wooden ceiling beams, which were hidden inside the floor structure, and replaced the warren of small rooms with interconnected spaces around a large entrance hall. The pages show the living room with its exposed beams, pieces from Colección Ábaton and photographs by Juan Baraja. The issue, titled ‘Aire fresco’, was devoted to seven significant houses and to architectural recycling.
