Bos-Cos has opened its first new "small complex" in Seville, hoping to redraw the city's tourist apartment blueprint with the aim of making it more akin to a boutique hotel in concept. The project involves dividing a traditional Seville courtyard house into four separate apartments so that each can enjoy its own terrace.
In order to be able to achieve this within the framework of current laws and regulations and in compliance with local functional department codes and standards, it became an objective necessity to demolish the wing that was not part of the original building and rebuild it, starting with a rammed foundation.
Two of the final four duplexes are axially symmetrical, while the other two are embedded in the original old building. As a part of the new building, how to coordinate with the building with a history of more than 100 years is an important premise for the architect to reconsider and solve.
Thus, the courtyard was utilized and developed in a vertical direction, which is a Seville architectural tradition and helps to make the whole building more rhythmical and cohesive. This architectural style is no doubt a nod to the materials, colors and elements of local architecture, and is combined with some dilapidated components to give the whole building more character and personality.
