Gonzalez & Jacobson Architecture presents preliminary sketches for the renovation of a Cortijo in Gaucin, Malaga.
Renovations involve altering existing structures, from minor changes to complex structural modifications. The process begins by establishing goals, character, and design to create a roadmap.
Preserving the cortijo’s soul and essence while maximising existing features is crucial. A preliminary study of its overall structure and condition determines which original elements can be retained and which require renewal.
Each cortijo’s unique personality sets it apart. Gonzalez & Jacobson favours natural colours and textures, optimising spaces and highlighting their individual character. The firm aims to strike a balance between modern elements and those that reflect the cortijo’s history and its owners’ heritage.
