Any intervention in a historic building, however small, is always subject to a balancing act between respecting the old and daring work with those new parts that should be added. The restoration of the Tower of Huércal-Overa is one example.

The structure is a watchtower that was part of a defensive belt of the border of the Kingdom of Granada ( 13rd Century), is located atop a hill overlooking a wide horizon, which only retained the core elements. The project was to create access to the tower and restore the original state of the same. To achieve this, the place has changed minimally, relying at all times in the topography. The car park has been conducted in an open space exists, the customer service office is a single volume: a box of rusted steel.

This contemporary material causes a categorical distinction between new and old (built with brick walls), especially in the cylindrical body surrounding the spiral staircase which recovers the original entrance of the tower via a walkway of steel and glass . The contrast is brutal and beautiful.

The architects Luis Castillo and Mercedes Miras (Castillo Miras Architects) designed this intervention.
