Paula Ábalos Arquitectura Renovates Casa Boa in Majadahonda with Pastel-Yellow Kitchen
Paula Ábalos arquitectura has revitalized Casa Boa, a townhouse located in Majadahonda, Madrid, while honoring its familial legacy. Instead of a complete renovation, the studio emphasized color to meet the preferences of the current residents, Concha, Ana, and Miguel. The ground level was redesigned into a spacious, bright area that opens up to the garden, featuring a pastel-yellow kitchen as its focal point. This stands in contrast to the original blue fixtures, such as the staircase railings and extractor hood. Notable materials include 5×5 broken white tiles, vanilla grout, a terrazzo countertop from Mosaista, and oak cabinets. The renovation was finalized between 2025 and 2026, similar to Midori Arquitectura’s 30-square-metre attic project in Madrid, which also uses color for spatial organization.
