Lobby renovation and accessibility upgrade. Valencia. 2025

**Intervention in 2025 in a 1976 residential building.**

This project tackled the challenge of integrating an **accessible ramp and garage descent within a very limited space**, achieving both **comfort and elegance**.

The design was guided by a clear premise: a **slope below 5%**, ensuring independent and easy access for wheelchair users, while maintaining sufficient **clearance at the garage entrance**.

The **1970s building** still retained traces of its original charm — **glazed ceramics, a mural by renowned artist Julio Bono, and wooden details** — though much of its character had been lost through earlier renovations. 
With a **tight budget** and the neighbors’ wish for a modern, minimalist aesthetic, we chose to **preserve the mural** and let it inspire the new palette and materials.

Warm corten tones, soft curves, and subtle lighting create a **welcoming atmosphere** that honors the building’s history while bringing it into the present.

At **miniArquitectura**, we design **friendly, functional spaces** that make life easier and more joyful, always with respect for comfort, durability, and the environment.
