Local design studio Viruta Lab designed the Casa Gesso, which is made to honor the legacy of influential feminist artist Ángela García Codoñer. The founders of the studio David Puerta and María Daroz are both fans of the artist and the home’s design aims to create a connection between the modern architecture and some of the progressive work by the artist done in the 70s.

Puerta speaks about the design concept to Dezeen, noting “The day area sequence is composed of three completely pure architectural prisms, geometrically and visually uninterrupted, with the second being a void positioned between two solids, emphasising views through transparency. These volumes are designed as perfect spaces of calm and contemplation, suitable for working or exhibiting artworks like an exhibition hall, thus projected with half-height ceilings.”
