CS13 by maximale, a fusion of past and present, pays homage to the building's rich heritage while embracing the aspirations of its transient inhabitants.

In the heart of Malaga, CS13 pays homage to the storied past of a historic edifice.

This endeavor by Maximale blends the cherished heritage with the contemporary needs of its transient inhabitants, who seek solace in modest yet refined dwellings. Comprising a cluster of seven meticulously crafted apartments, CS13 not only reclaims the essence of this architectural gem but also fosters an environment of communal living.

Each abode boasts a harmonious fusion of two bedrooms, an airy living space that seamlessly transitions into a dining area, and a kitchen that beckons culinary explorations. The apartments reflect on current functionality and the absence of ornamentation while engaging in a dialogue with the vibrant details of this unique building. All floors are designed with two different typologies of pre-existing housing units, where as one ascends, the specific elements of the facade and roof bathe the space in light and warmth.

In a realm where history and the present entwine, Maximale breathed new life into a place that once stood in silent splendour. This project stands as a reverential tribute to the union of architectural grandeur and the pursuit of refined living, inviting residents to embark on a journey where aesthetics, comfort, and soulful design converge.
