House S Renovation: A Remodeling Project at Tortugas CC
House S, located in the private neighborhood of Tortugas CC, has undergone a comprehensive renovation that transformed it completely. This architectural project by Valdemarin, in collaboration with Siuk Studio, has not only revamped the home's aesthetics but also enhanced its functionality and comfort, creating the perfect weekend retreat.
The intervention introduces a textured cladding, replacing the old terracotta exposed brick facade with a sophisticated natural tone that brightens the exterior of the home. This dramatic change not only modernizes the house's appearance but also harmonizes with the neighborhood’s natural surroundings. The addition of a new adjacent volume, featuring a fireplace and a grill, invites social gatherings and outdoor living, making it an ideal space for family reunions and social events throughout the year.
The interior combines elegance and comfort, with a meticulous renovation of all the furnishings. Each element was carefully selected to create a harmonious atmosphere. The lighting fixtures,textile textures, and paint colors have been blended into a serene palette of beige, gray, and dark wood tones, complemented by the travertine marble fireplace. Large glazed openings flood the spaces with natural light, creating a play of light, shadows, reflections, and new hues that connect the interior with the outdoor garden. Artwork from the owners’ personal collection, curated by the studio, adds a touch of personality and warmth, making each room an extension of their lifestyle.
Valdemarin and Siuk Studio not only managed the architectural design but also created custom- made furniture. The sofas and beds were specifically designed for the house, offering a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics.
One of the most successful decisions was unifying the wood tone across all cladding, openings, and the staircase, generating visual coherence that brings serenity and fluidity to the spaces. This attention to detail not only enhances the overall aesthetic but also creates a perfectly integrated environment.
In pursuit of sustainability, part of the renovation involved reusing existing materials. The stone that previously covered the playroom was repurposed for the powder room and the grill flooring. The renovated playroom has become a serene and comfortable space, ideal for children to play and gather in a safe environment.
The renovation of House S at Tortugas is a brilliant example of how a thoughtful approach to interior design and architecture can turn a house into a true home. From the new facade to the interiors, every aspect of this architectural project tells a story of renewal and style.
