Casa Regino: Glass and Color Shape a Bright Burgos Apartment
Casa Regino reimagines an apartment in Burgos, Spain, through a modern renovation led by Vanda. The project organizes daily life around fluid rooms, natural light, and custom-made elements that respond to the residents’ habits. Clean lines, controlled color, and a careful balance of openness and privacy turn this urban dwelling into a bright, welcoming home with a distinct Burgos character.
Morning light moves through the apartment, passing from one room to the next behind a clear pane of glass. Shadows soften along pale surfaces as color notes and custom pieces anchor everyday rituals.
This modern apartment renovation in Burgos, Spain, reworks a compact home into a functional, bright interior shaped around how its residents actually live. Vanda focuses on interior planning, light, and bespoke furniture to fine-tune each room, using contemporary materials and a measured palette. The project centers on how color, glazing, and built-in elements create comfort and clarity for a city household.
At its core, the apartment is re-planned for livability, with structural changes opening a more fluid sequence between kitchen, living, and adjacent rooms. Natural light becomes a planning tool, channeled along clear sightlines so that even interior corners feel connected to the exterior. Modern finishes and refined surfaces give the home a contemporary character without sacrificing warmth, while the layout keeps circulation straightforward and uncluttered.
Glass Wall, Shared Light
A custom-made glass wall stands between the kitchen and living area, acting as both partition and conduit. It separates cooking and lounging zones while keeping the view long and uninterrupted. Natural light crosses from one side to the other, pooling on floors and catching the edges of furniture, so the entire apartment reads as one coherent volume. Privacy and order remain intact behind the glazing, yet the daily rhythm of the household stays visually connected.
Light And Color Balance
Light is treated as a primary material, amplified through large window openings and bright interior finishes. Pale surfaces reflect daylight deep into the plan, helping rooms feel generous and open even within the apartment footprint. A palette of soft neutrals sets a calm base, while bold color accents introduce energy in measured doses, shifting the mood from room to room. Each area holds a distinct character, yet the shared tones keep the home coherent and easy to read.
Custom Furniture In Daily Use
Bespoke furniture solutions carry much of the project’s intent, aligning storage, proportion, and circulation with the residents’ routines. Built-in units tuck against walls to free up floor area, turning tight corners into useful nooks rather than leftover gaps. Kitchen cabinetry follows the geometry of the architecture, so appliances, work surfaces, and dining zones connect as a single, efficient ensemble. Precision in joinery and layout reduces visual noise, giving everyday objects clear places to land.
Functional Rhythm At Home
Across the apartment, every room is calibrated to support specific activities, from quiet relaxation to social cooking. Circulation routes stay direct, which makes movement intuitive and cuts down on wasted corners or dark dead ends. The combination of fluid partitions, well-placed storage, and controlled color helps residents shift easily between work, rest, and gathering with friends. What could have been a generic shell instead becomes a responsive setting for daily life.
By the time evening falls, the glass wall reflects interior light back into the rooms, turning the apartment into a calm, bright enclosure. Materials, custom pieces, and carefully tuned color work together to keep the home both practical and welcoming. In this Burgos setting, Vanda’s renovation shows how a clear interior strategy can turn an ordinary apartment into a contemporary, livable retreat.
