Renovating an apartment is an opportunity for your home to stop being what it was and become what you need now.
At CU4 Arquitectura, we have spent over 15 years helping homeowners in Valencia transform their homes from within, with architectural design, interior design, and construction management.
An apartment can need very different things depending on who lives in it and at what stage of life they are. Some people buy an older property with great potential and want to gut everything and start from scratch. Others have lived in their home for years and it no longer fits how they live. And some only need to move a few walls and update what is visible. That is why before discussing construction, we understand what you want to achieve. We work with any type of renovation:
Comprehensive renovation
We gut, redistribute, and renew the home from top to bottom. Systems, finishes, lighting, and interior design. The result is a completely new apartment inside.
Partial renovation
When it is not necessary to touch everything. We intervene in the areas that need it without altering what already works well.
Redistribution
The home is fine but the layout is not. We study how to reorganize the space so it flows better without needing a comprehensive renovation.
Older apartment
Homes with character but with systems, carpentry, and finishes that have already completed their cycle. We bring them up to date while respecting what deserves to stay.
We do not start drawing on the first day. First we sit down to listen to you.
01. Before starting
What you decide at the beginning changes everything
A meeting to understand your home, your budget, and how you live. We guide you on what is viable, what timelines to expect, and what you can expect from the process. No obligation.
02. Listen
Translate your way of living into design decisions
We develop the preliminary design: layout, orientation, materials, and finishes. This is where your idea begins to take real shape. We work with you until the result convinces you.
03. Design
Define well to avoid problems during construction
All the documentation necessary for the contractor to execute exactly what we have designed. No ambiguities or surprises during construction.
04. Choose
Make decisions with criteria, not blindly
We accompany you in the selection of finishes, furniture, and systems. We know what works, what lasts, and what fits the construction budget. You do not have to navigate this alone.
05. Manage
Real control during construction
We supervise execution to ensure what is built corresponds to what was designed. Technical and financial control at each phase.
Our studio is in Valencia city and that is where most of our residential renovation activity is concentrated:
Valencia city and metropolitan area — Where most of our activity for individuals is concentrated.
Marina Alta (Jávea, Dénia, Moraira, Calpe) — An area with significant demand for quality single-family homes, both for primary and secondary residences.
Rest of the province — We evaluate each case. If the project fits, we go wherever necessary.
Not all apartments are the same, nor do all owners seek the same thing. The cost depends on the condition of the home, what you want to achieve, and the finishes chosen. If you fill out the form, within 24-48 hours we will give you an initial estimate.
It depends on what you want to do. For a partial renovation it may not be necessary. For a comprehensive renovation that involves redistribution, system changes, or intervention in structural elements, yes. And having an architect is not just a formality—it is having someone who defends your interests throughout the entire process.
A comprehensive renovation of a medium-sized apartment can take between three and five months of construction, depending on the scope. Before that there is a design and permit process that also has its timelines. We explain everything in the first meeting so there are no surprises.
No, you can ask us without hesitation.
We can assure you that the budget we provide will be adjusted to the work we know you will need throughout the entire process. We have been able to calculate this cost based on years of experience, controlling time and costs. Our fees will be adjusted and proportional to the size and complexity of the project.
In addition, we will guide you on the overall cost of the construction. You will see that our fees are really a very small part of the total—and the best investment to make the entire process a success!
No, comprehensive renovation requires the owner’s agreement. If you are the owner and have tenants, timelines must be coordinated with the contractual situation. We guide you on how to manage it.

Yes. Interior design is part of the process from the beginning—it is not an add-on at the end. Materials, lighting, furniture, and finishes are worked on together with the architectural design so everything is coherent.
It happens, especially in apartments with years behind them. That is why the design phase is so important: the better everything is documented before starting, the fewer unexpected issues there will be. If something does arise, we evaluate it with you and find the best solution.
