Nestled in the heart of Merilla, Cantabria, the transformation of a traditional vivienda is more than just a renovation; it's a testament to the timeless allure of Cantabrian architecture. Johan Vanoverbeke, with a profound respect for the region's architectural legacy, has embarked on an ambitious journey to rejuvenate a classic cabana pasiega.

The essence of this endeavor lies in the delicate balance of preserving the cabana's age-old charm while infusing it with contemporary design elements. The aim is to craft a living space that not only pays tribute to its historical roots but also offers the comforts and aesthetics of modern living.

Set against the scenic backdrop of Merilla, the cabana will showcase a harmonious blend of traditional and avant-garde design elements. From the utilization of sustainable, eco-friendly materials to the integration of cutting-edge amenities, every facet of the renovation will be executed with precision and passion.

In its entirety, the CABANA MERILLA project stands as a tribute to Cantabrian architecture, seamlessly bridging the past with the present. It embodies Johan's passion, vision, and dedication to the region, crafting a narrative that resonates with both history and innovation.
