Casa-Museo transforms a former silversmiths’ workshop into a hybrid residence and house-museum, integrating domestic life with the display of a significant collection of photography, sculpture, and design. The project is organised around a circular, enveloping gesture that unifies the building’s complex existing structure while generating spatial sequence, movement, and light. Two open circles with offset centres replace static geometry with dynamic trajectories, shaping circulation, program, and visual relationships at every scale.
The project balances exhibition and cultural engagement with the intimacy of a private home. Adaptive reuse introduces a new spatial order within the existing industrial envelope, retaining structural elements that frame daily life as a series of theatrical scenes. Flexible living spaces, integrated exhibition surfaces, and carefully controlled climate and daylight support both inhabitation and long-term conservation of the collection, resulting in a fluid and immersive environment in which art, architecture, and everyday rituals coexist in careful equilibrium.
Casa-Museo has transformed the way we inhabit our home and experience our collection. The architecture seamlessly integrates art and daily life, allowing the collection to breathe and evolve while remaining inseparable from domestic rhythms. Spaces expand and contract effortlessly, with retractable doors, curtains, and mezzanines providing flexibility. Light, materiality, and carefully controlled environmental conditions protect the works while enhancing wellbeing. Every element – from circulation to furnishings – reflects our intellectual and personal vision. Casa-Museo enables us to live fully with our collection, where dwelling itself becomes an extension of our engagement with art and design, and invites others to share it.
