House in Principe Real

Tile of Spain, the international brand representing 125 ceramic tile manufacturers belonging to the Spanish Ceramic Tile Manufacturers' Association (ASCER), announced the winners of the 13th Annual Tile of Spain Awards in the categories of Architecture and Interior Design. The judges decided to award first prize in the Architecture category to the project entitled "House in Príncipe Real" (located in Lisbon) by the CAMARIM Arquitectos Studio (Vasco Correia and Patricia Sousa). The judges praised this project, highlighting in particular "the brilliant interpretation in the use of ceramic tiles in Lisbon's historic quarter. The house, built on five floors, looks out onto the street boasting a new textured take on the traditional ceramic tile façade."

Casa El Enroque

The judges also awarded two special mentions in the architecture category. The first, "Casa El Enroque," was completed by Ángel Luis Rocamora. In this case, the judges expressed their appreciation of the "sensitive use of traditional ceramic tiles on the façades, combined with the openings that open up strategically as part of the restoration and extension of the existing building."

Casa Andamio

The second architectural special mention went to "Casa Andamio" by bosch.capdeferro arquitectures. One of the features that the judges particularly appreciated was the highly intelligent approach to an intervention on an existing building, as well as the use of glazed ceramic tiles in various construction elements as a means of catalyzing specific plays of light within the transition spaces between the interiors and exteriors.

Restoration of the Cloister at Betxi­ Castle

In the Interior Design category, first prize was awarded to the project entitled, "Restoration of the Cloister at Betxí Castle," by El Fabricante de Espheras studio. The judges remarked on the conceptual transformation of the interior space of the cloister through the inclusion of a large mirrored surface that forms a "virtual construction" of half of the lost Renaissance cloister. The work focuses on recovering the cloister space by including a traditional terracotta wall.

Bodebo Store

The judges also awarded two special mentions in the interior category, as they did in the architecture category. One of the mentions went to the "Bodebo Store," which was completed by CAVAA (Jordi Calbetó and Oriol Vañó). In this case, the judges valued the "refreshing no-fuss intervention of the renewed interior, as well as the straightforwardness and efficiency in the use of the various ceramic tiles."

Restoration of the Administration Hall of the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site

The second special mention in the interior category went to the "Restoration of the Administration Hall of the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site" by Joan Nogué Arbussa. The judges praised the magnificent restoration work undertaken, highlighting in particular "its vocation to restore it to its original state, incorporating original ceramic tiles whilst also introducing a contemporary take on those sections for which there was no objective information."

Alfama 2.0

The Tile of Spain Awards also include a category to acknowledge the best Final Degree Project undertaken by students at architecture schools where the use of ceramic tiles plays a major role. The judges agreed to award first prize in the Final Degree Project category to “Alfama 2.0” by María González Aranguren, a student at the Madrid School of Architecture (ETSAM). The judges were impressed by this project to restore Lisbon's Alfama district, making particular mention of the high standard of the proposal, both in terms of urban planning and architecture. They also admired the optimistic construction interpretation of Lisbon’s traditional ceramic tile facades.
