Torrecilla de Domingo — Interior Design & Visualization

Torrecilla de Domingo.

Hospitality project developed as a full architectural rehabilitation study. La Torrecilla de Domingo, a historic estate at the foot of Monte Corona, is reimagined as a low occupancy retreat hotel built entirely inside its existing volumes. The brief pairs a contemplative, spiritual retreat programme with astrotourism and dark sky observation, and treats visualization as the tool that tests every material and spatial decision long before it reaches construction.

The project works with what the place already gives it. Volcanic stone stays exposed where it carries the room, a headboard wall, a garden boundary, the cobbles underfoot. Most of northern Lanzarote sits under Natura 2000 and Biosphere Reserve protection, and new construction on the surrounding malpaís is not permitted. The project turned that constraint into its method: rather than adding volume to the landscape, the program works entirely within La Torrecilla de Domingo's four existing structures, a former wine estate dating to 1918, and asks what a spiritual retreat hotel looks like when every room is a recovered space rather than a new one.

Visualization ran alongside the design rather than after it. Every wall finish, every piece of furniture and every light temperature was tested as a still image first, so the palette could be approved before anything was specified: whitewashed volcanic masonry, green painted tea wood carpentry protected against salinity in the tradition codified by Manrique, lime render, and a lapilli path running through the courtyard.
