A door for my parents
Linear actuation meters: 31,60m (h: 2m)
Reform project for the fence of the plot located at Santiago Apóstol 22 Street: replacement of pedestrian and traffic metal gates and works of superficial improvement of the existing enclosure without demolition of any element.
- L'Eliana, Valencia (Spain) L'Eliana is a municipality near Valencia, which in the 1970s developed large housing estates on the outskirts. Carmen Ruiz Navarro and Clemente Carrión Mateu, my parents, have finished their house in plot No. 22 of Santiago Apóstol Street, and, 25 years later the entrance gate is broken and they need a new door. So then, a door for my parents with something else, of course.
Door
As the title says, the first need and goal of the project was to solve a door. Not just one, two, to be exact. Without being able to assume any type of demolition of any element already constructed, with the exception of the already deteriorated door existing, it addresses, on the one hand, the access door rolled, and, the pedestrian door. Each one of them with their free holes marked by the existence of the wall already constructed of closure.
RAL 6019
The fence is practically a horizontal line. With the project there is an effort to generate, veils that will deform the fence until it becomes a foliated structure that shelters nuances and attends to the two situations that will be through it, the step walking and the step with a vehicle. The color refers to modernist and precious work, breaking with a canon of standardization through the recovery of another canon in disuse.
Ceramic Wall Murals

Being my mother ceramist was difficult to miss the chance to continue playing. Thus, for the two walls that collect the access through the pedestrian gate, we propose together with an illustrator, two unique murals, that speak of the inhabitants and their things, of the inhabitants and of a future.
Sergio Membrillas as an illustrator, Cerámica Vilar Albaro as a supplier of ceramic white glazed pieces in 10x10 cm, and, our own work in the ceramic atelier, are proof that the transversality enriches the results and that the ceramic Is a material laden with a very broad aesthetic sense and easily exportable to contemporary discourse with a firm will. The result is two pieces, which somehow contaminate the street with domesticity and beauty.
