CASA CAPIROTE
Casa Capirote distils the spirit of Sevilla into a calm, contemporary interior shaped by craft, light, and a quietly refined sense of place.
In Casa Capirote, Alejandro Cateto distills the character of Sevilla into a calm, contemporary interior. The project takes its cue from the city’s most emblematic craft—Triana pottery—whose colours, patterns and artisanal spirit appear throughout the space. From the geometric headboard and exposed beams to the custom sink and ceramic accents, these references echo the decorative language of Plaza de España, lending the apartment a sense of place and quiet authenticity.
The layout is conceived as a fluid, multifunctional space, defined not by walls but by curtains. This simple yet intentional device allows the interior to shift between open, social living and a more intimate, private atmosphere. The result is a home that adapts to daily rhythms while retaining a clean, uninterrupted aesthetic.
Natural light plays a central role. By avoiding fixed partitions, the apartment remains bright and open, with daylight highlighting the earth and green tones that anchor the palette. The warmth of this light amplifies the feeling of continuity with the outdoors, creating a soft, inviting environment shaped by the cadence of the city.
Walls finished in lime mortar reinforce the connection to Andalusian building traditions, adding texture without visual weight. Ceramic details deepen this link to local heritage, while contemporary furniture—with its organic lines and understated forms—introduces a refined counterpoint. Together, they strike a balance between modern comfort and craft-driven character.
Casa Capirote reflects Sevilla not through literal motifs, but through material sensitivity, atmosphere and rhythm. It is a home that honours the city’s architectural and cultural lineage, while translating it for a quieter, more sophisticated contemporary life.
