In the heart of the historic center of Castellón, OCN has transformed an elegant Modernist building.
The project, part of the growing Build to Rent trend—a real estate investment model that professionalizes the rental market and ensures high quality standards—has transformed three spacious 189 m² apartments into nine contemporary studio units.
The prime layout of the corner building, entirely exterior-facing, has allowed the design of exceptionally bright and harmonious spaces across three floors. Everything has been planned to provide comfort, functionality, and a contemporary aesthetic.
One of the project’s greatest achievements lies in its respect for the Modernist heritage
Far from opting for a renovation that would erase its history, OCN has preserved and highlighted the original architectural elements in the common areas, main entrance, and staircase.
Moldings, hydraulic flooring, and ornamental details now coexist with the cutting-edge interior design of the studios, creating a captivating dialogue between eras that enriches the experience of living in the building.
Inside each unit, the renovation incorporates high-quality noble materials and contemporary finishes.
This rehabilitation responds to a growing and sophisticated demand in the rental market: homes that do not forgo the elegance and character of historical heritage, while fully integrating modern comforts, technology, and contemporary aesthetic sensibilities.
