This home reflects the level of design, renovation, and attention to detail applied across all Casera Collection homes
It was chosen for its setting, scale, and architectural character. The design builds on the existing structure and traditional proportions, using local materials to create a home that feels contemporary while remaining connected to its surroundings.
What follows is an overview of the home’s origins and Casera’s design approach, from material choices and planning principles to the individual spaces that shape how it will be lived in:

Location & Origins
The home is set within the historic center of Jerez de la Frontera, beside one of the city’s oldest landmarks
Its entrance opens onto a shared courtyard that wraps around a medieval church dating to the 13th century, shaped over time by successive architectural layers.
While formal records of the home’s original construction are limited, the structure is believed to date to 1820. What is clear is its long-standing integration into the fabric of the neighborhood; the house does not sit beside the landmark so much as it lives with it. From the terrace, the front facade windows, and the rooftop, views are consistently framed by the original stone walls, placing the home in close dialogue with one of the city’s oldest structures.
Floor Plans
With nearly 300 square metres of interior space and 200 square metres of exterior living, the layout of the home is fully reimagined, from the new stair and elevator to the arrangement of every space
Generous original ceiling heights create a sense of openness across levels, while an elevator connecting all three floors allows for easy movement throughout. The property also includes a private garage, a practical rarity in the historic center.
- The ground floor is the social heart of the home. Designed to take full advantage of Jerez’s mild climate, the main salon opens directly onto the terrace and dip pool, allowing indoor and outdoor spaces to function as one. This level includes a generous kitchen, a large round dining table, and a living area anchored by a fireplace, intended for long lunches, evenings in, and time spent moving between inside and out.
- The first floor is dedicated to rest and retreat. It includes a primary bedroom, three guest bedrooms, and a bunk room for four, allowing the home to comfortably sleep twelve, each with its own en suite bathroom. A secondary living area with a coffee bar offers a quieter counterpoint to the ground floor salon, suited to children’s movie nights, a morning coffee, or an unhurried nightcap.
- The roof terrace is designed as an elevated outdoor living space. It includes an outdoor kitchen and grill, a large dining area, sun-lounging zones, and a spa area with sauna and outdoor shower.
Materials & Mood
Natural materials shape the atmosphere of the house
Stone, wood, and woven textures introduce warmth and depth, allowing the architecture to remain understated. A restrained palette of mineral tones creates continuity across spaces, with texture providing subtle variation. The focus is not decoration, but balance: materials that feel grounded, familiar, and enduring.
The furniture shown offers a reference for the interior mood. Contemporary forms sit alongside restored and heritage influences, selected for comfort, longevity, and a sense of permanence rather than trend.

Secondary Salon & Coffee Bar
The secondary salon provides a quieter living space, offering a place of retreat separate from the main gathering areas below. Organized around a secondary coffee point, the space is equipped with a built-in refrigerator and dishwasher, allowing it to function independently from the main kitchen. A television is integrated to read as framed artwork when not in use, allowing the space to remain visually calm. Located adjacent to this area, the laundry is discreetly integrated, with convenient proximity to all bedrooms.
Primary Bedroom
The primary bedroom is organized as a sequence of spaces, beginning with a spa-like bathroom. Upon entry, the space opens into a generous volume containing a bathtub, lounge chair, and dual vanity, with the WC discreetly enclosed.
A central architectural volume houses both the enclosed WC and the shower, while also acting as a spatial buffer between the bathing and sleeping areas. A pocket door allows the two zones to be separated when desired, maintaining privacy without compromising openness.
The space includes a king-size bed, a dedicated remote work station, and approximately 3.75 linear metres (12 linear feet) of built-in wardrobe space.
Guest Rooms
The home includes three guest rooms, each designed as a comfortable and self-contained retreat. All are fitted with queen-size beds and en-suite bathrooms, allowing guests a consistent level of privacy.
While similar in layout, each room is treated individually, with variations in finishes, artwork, and detailing to give each space its own character. Built-in wardrobe storage of at least two linear metres (6.5 linear feet) is provided in each room, supporting extended stays. Two of the guest rooms also include dedicated remote work stations.
Bunk Room
More than a children’s room, the bunk room is designed as a flexible sleeping space for shared use, with built-in bunks sleeping up to four and detailing approached with the same care as the other bedrooms.
The adjoining bathroom is planned for simultaneous use and organized into three distinct zones: an enclosed WC, a double vanity, and a separate shower area. This arrangement allows multiple occupants to use the space comfortably and independently.
Roof Terrace: Open Air Living
Set above the historic cityscape, the roof terrace offers open views across Jerez
With sightlines extending over surrounding rooftops and toward the stone mass of the neighboring landmark, the terrace looks out across a skyline marked by historic steeples and cultural landmarks. From this elevation, the relationship between the home and the city is most clearly felt, with layers of history unfolding in every direction.
Roof Terrace Spaces
With licensing underway, the final layout is being developed and is intended to include areas for outdoor cooking and dining, sunbathing and lounge seating, as well as a dedicated wellness zone with a jacuzzi, sauna, powder room, and outdoor shower.
Design Process
The project is expected to break ground in summer 2026
The rendered views and spatial descriptions presented throughout this article reflect the current design intent, offering a sense of the home’s atmosphere, scale, and potential.
As work progresses, the restoration process may reveal existing materials, structural conditions, or architectural details that inform and refine the final outcome. In this sense, the design remains responsive, shaped not only by drawings, but by the building itself as it is fully uncovered.
