The Bonneville – A Story Told Through Design When you walk into The Bonneville, it’s the details that immediately capture your imagination. This stunning stained-glass ceiling and textured walls weren’t just design choices—they were part of a vision to blend elegance with reclaimed charm. Creating this atmosphere wasn’t easy. The walls were given a hand-crafted layered texture by a theatrical artist, inspired by techniques used on film sets. The ceiling’s salvaged Victorian skylight became the perfect finishing touch, casting warm light across the deep, rich tones of the bespoke seating. For me, this project was about more than aesthetics. It was about creating a space where every element—from the cobblestone floors to the Art Nouveau-inspired corbels—told a story of heritage, creativity, and connection. It’s these thoughtful touches that make The Bonneville a space that not only looks remarkable but feels inviting and alive. Let’s start a conversation about turning your vision into reality. 📷 Photo Credit: The Bonneville

The new Loewe Valencia store is located on the ground floor of the Monforte building, a work by architect Lucas García Cardona built between 1895 and 1909. This building at number 5 Plaza de la Reina in Valencia's Ciutat Vella district has a long commercial tradition. It was the home of the popular La Isla de Cuba department store. The façade is decorated with ceramics depicting dancing bacchantes and its interior features numerous cast iron columns and a unique-looking staircase. The architectural project for the new store recovers the heritage elements of the Monforte building and contrasts them with the coloured surfaces that are the hallmark of all the Loewe new openings around the world. For a photographer like me, finding a precise balance between the old and the new is the greatest challenge. Doing so without hiding the colours that create the unique experience of the brand's new spaces is even more complicated. Each Loewe store is different: each one is custom photographed to measure, there is no magic formula for this. #photography #architecture #architecturalphotography #Valencia
