The premises are located in La Latina, one of Madrid's oldest and most distinctive neighborhoods. Of medieval origin, the area preserves an irregular urban layout, with narrow streets, open squares and a vibrant cultural and commercial life. Every Sunday, the neighborhood is transformed by El Rastro, the city's most iconic flea market, where antiques, design pieces and unique objects coexist. This visual and material richness of the surroundings inspired the project's approach.

Before the intervention, the premises had a fragmented layout with two floor levels, which hindered spatial continuity and its use as an office and point of sale. The objective was clear: to unify the whole, optimize functionality and give it an architectural language that would convey the value of the products that Alvico represents.

The premises are organized into two main areas, separated by a natural Travertine frame that functions as a visual threshold and transitional element. This gesture provides texture and nobility, and articulates the passage between the meeting and exhibition area, and the work room. The unifying flooring is a dark oak parquet with long planks laid with hidden joints, which runs throughout the space naturally and continuously. In the entrance area, slightly elevated, a textured jute carpet is incorporated that provides warmth, texture and acoustic absorption. This gesture, together with the linen sheers on the windows, introduces a more domestic and sensory dimension to the work environment.
