Home Renovation in Madrid | Interior Design and Architecture
Renovating a home in Madrid is about much more than just replacing floors or painting walls. It’s an opportunity to create a space that truly works for you, that feels like your own, and that will stand the test of time.
At Estudio Cabana, we are architects with a contemporary approach. We combine design, strategy, and experience to ensure that every renovation is unique, cohesive, and tailored to the people who will live there.
Types of home renovations we perform
Every home is different, and so is the type of renovation. We work on a wide variety of projects, always with the same level of care and attention to detail.
Complete home renovation
We worked on every aspect of the home: the layout, utilities, wall and floor coverings, woodwork, and finishes. The result is a completely renovated home, with no trace of what was there before.
Renovation of an old house
Homes with a history have character, but they also have specific needs. We know how to work with them to preserve what’s valuable and update what no longer works.
Structural and functional rehabilitation
When a home has structural issues or outdated systems, renovation is the way to go. We work with technical precision to ensure your home remains safe and livable for years to come.
Partial renovation by room
You don't always have to renovate the whole house. If you just need to renovate the bathroom, kitchen, or living room, we'll handle it with the same commitment to design and quality.
How we approach your home renovation in Madrid
We don't offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Every project starts with understanding how you live, what you need, and how you want to feel in your home.
Beyond Renovation: Spaces That Connect with People
A well-done renovation doesn't just improve the look of your home. It improves your daily life. How you move through the spaces, how the light comes in, how each room feels. That's what matters to us.
Our process: from strategy to the final space
Before discussing materials or the budget, we conduct a thorough assessment of your home. We develop a clear plan and guide you through every decision until the project is complete.
Renovating an Old House in Madrid: What to Keep in Mind
Old houses have their charm, but they also come with their share of challenges. If you're thinking about renovating a home like this in Madrid, there are some things you can't afford to overlook.
Structural condition and previous diagnosis
Before starting any renovation project, it’s essential to understand the actual condition of the home. We conduct a thorough assessment to determine what we’re working with and avoid any surprises during the project.
Permits, licenses, and regulations in Madrid
Renovating in Madrid requires compliance with municipal regulations. We handle all the administrative procedures: applying for licenses, obtaining building permits, and coordinating with the City Council.
Installations: electrical, plumbing, and HVAC
In older homes, the systems are often on their last legs or completely outdated. We completely overhaul them to make your home efficient, safe, and comfortable.
Materials and finishes: quality, identity, and durability
We choose materials that perform well and are aesthetically consistent with the project. No fleeting trends—just materials that age gracefully and add character to the space.
What it's like to work with Estudio Cabana
We want the process of renovating your home to be as straightforward and stress-free as possible. That’s why we follow a clear process and maintain open communication.
Initial consultation and site analysis
We meet with you, visit your home, and listen. We want to understand what you need before making any suggestions.
Design and Planning Proposal
We develop a design proposal tailored to your home and your budget. We explain each decision so you can make your own informed choices.
Construction Monitoring and Handover
We coordinate and oversee the construction work to ensure that everything is carried out according to the plans. We keep you informed at every stage and resolve any issues so you don't have to worry.
Why You Should Hire an Architecture Firm to Renovate Your Home
There are many renovation companies in Madrid. What sets us apart is that we are architects, and that changes the way we approach each project.
Design, technical expertise, and experience all in one team
We don’t separate design from execution. Our team excels in both the creative and technical aspects, which results in more cohesive projects and better-executed work.
Project management from start to finish
We take full responsibility for the entire project—from the initial sketch to the final touches on-site. We don’t disappear once the contract is signed.
Projects from our Architecture Studio
At Estudio Cabana, we begin each project by analyzing the land or plot, the surroundings, and local regulations.
How much does it cost to renovate a house in Madrid?
That's the question everyone asks, and it makes sense. But the honest answer is that it depends on many factors.
Factors that influence the budget
The condition of the home, its size, the type of renovation, the materials chosen, and the quality of the finishes are the main factors that determine the cost. A partial renovation of average quality can start at €500 per square meter, while a full renovation with high-quality finishes can exceed €1,200 per square meter.
How we work with each client on their budget
We don’t throw out random numbers. Once we’ve assessed your home and your goals, we’ll provide you with a detailed, transparent quote—with no fine print. We know that renovating a home is a significant investment, and we treat it as such.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Renovations in Madrid
Do I need an architect to renovate my house in Madrid?
It depends on the type of project. For comprehensive renovations or those that affect the building’s structure, an architect’s involvement is required. In other cases, it is not required, but having an architect ensures that the project is well-planned from the start and complies with all regulations.
Can I continue living at home while the work is being done?
For most full-scale renovations, this isn't recommended. The dust, noise, and lack of basic amenities make it difficult. For partial renovations, however, it is possible to break the work down into phases so you can stay in your home.
How long does a complete renovation take?
A comprehensive renovation of a medium-sized home in Madrid typically takes between three and six months, depending on the home’s initial condition and the complexity of the project. We provide realistic timelines from the start, without making promises we can’t keep.
What is the difference between a partial renovation and a complete renovation?
