Asides from the structure exemplifying how the patina of age has been embraced, the architects also sourced some very special elements which they utilized in this studio's redesign. Namely, six wood doors, a few metal shutters and many old sheets of glass which have been repurposed and used throughout San Jeronimo 17. Meanwhile, an old music school was the place of origin for a vast collection of old wood shutters. Painted yellow, these shutters have been transformed into a network of cabinets that stretch throughout the space and now lend themselves as the "infrastructure" of the studio, storing everything from books and cables, having been built into desks and shelves, and dividing the office space into smaller compartments.
The studio's own history has also been taken into account via the designers of CUAC Arquitectura repurposing a four meter tall by one meter wide door from their client's old studio space, and using it as a cornerstone in San Jeronimo 17's design.
The space however isn't only shaped by its past or the past of its accoutrements. For instance, the conference room boasts a modern minimal, long table and its walls are smoothly whitewashed halfway up to the ceiling so as to incorporate the gritty, exposed brickwork and old wood ceiling beams into the mix. Perfectly exemplifying most of the studio space, this room highlights both the old and the new, synchronizing them to dynamic effect.
