CONVERSION OF A HISTORIC HOUSE INTO A SUITE HOTEL
PLANOS Y DETALLES TÉCNICOS
Five Suites Within a Historic Villa
The intervention adapts a house built in 1892, located in the historic residential district of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and originally designed by Antonio Pintor, for use as suite hotel accommodation.
The project preserves the original volume, spatial organization and façade composition, based on a precise reading of the building’s historical condition.
The rehabilitation recovers timber elements, joinery and decorative details within the central rooms, maintaining the domestic and representative character of the house.
The two lateral bays contain four suites distributed across both floors, while a fifth unit is located within the volume originally built as a carriage house.
Outside, the intervention preserves the existing water cistern and introduces a new sequence of garden, swimming pool and upper terrace for residents.
The project allows new standards of comfort to be introduced without altering the essential identity of the original villa.
