The interior designer Isabel López Vilalta (born in Barcelona in 1959) has just completed the renovation of Molino Real, the mythical mills of Paterna in Valencia, recently inaugurated as a Banquet Hall and Business Centre. For a remodel such as this, the Catalan interior designer has paid particular attention to the detail of the emblematic place and its high historical value, promoting the astonishing landscape. López Vilalta plays with the comparison between the history of a singular place and light and innovative materials. She uses pieces of iron, glass and metal tiles to complement the existing silos, whilst creating a soft appearance to strengthen the respect for the protected site. The result is the fusion of the historic architecture of the mills with an avant-garde interior design.
Molino Real is the largest historical-monumental complex of restored mills and has been recorded as a national cultural heritage site.
