Case studies
Three outdoor rooms across Valencia — different depths, wind, and neighbour distances, same attention to how people actually sit outside.
Ruzafa ledge for morning coffee
A couple wanted breakfast outdoors without roasting after 10:00. We shifted seating to the north rail, added a pale composite strip underfoot, and hung three clamp planters with rosemary that soften the view into the opposite kitchen.
A folding bistro set stores flat against the wall on laundry days. Total furniture spend stayed under €780 using suppliers on Calle de Sueca.
El Carmen courtyard privacy
A bedroom door opened onto a shared courtyard sightline. Community rules blocked solid walls, so we proposed a freestanding lattice with climbing jasmine in a trough and a retractable pale sail for midday glare.
The president approved after a one-page drawing. Install took two mornings; downstairs neighbours reported no drip issues after the first autumn storm.
Benimaclet dining for six
A family hosted weekly dinners and needed a table that did not trap wind. We chose an open-base metal frame with a timber top, bench seating against the wall, and citrus pots ballasted for tramontana weeks.
Elevator limits forced a two-piece tabletop. Evening lamp on a dimmer keeps faces lit without spilling into the street.
What these projects share
Each started with measures and a week of lived observation — tape on the floor, temporary chairs, honest talk about noise and watering. Drawings followed only after the messy reality was clear.
Fees covered design and coordination; clients paid suppliers directly. Ask for references when you get in touch — we share contacts with permission.
Publishing and privacy
Addresses stay private. We never publish door numbers or interior shots that identify a household without written consent.
If your project could help others in a similar building type, we may ask to include anonymised plans in a future case page — always optional.
