Gaspar Sobrino's Vejer house.

The patio is decorated with a collection of 1950s posters
Gaspar Sobrino designed Las Delicias Restaurant, La Palomita delicatessen  and the new Mercado. If you've ever admired either of these places' décor, or wondered what was behind a certain impressive black door in the heart of Vejer's historical centre, you'll enjoy these pictures, which were published in the latest edition of Mi Casa magazine (http://nuevo-estilo.micasarevista.com/casas-lujo/casa-interiorista-gaspar-sobrino). They show the interior of the designer's highly individual Vejer house, with all the charm and invention you might expect from this designer.

When Sobrino found his Vejer house, it was in a lamentable state, without services or utilities. All the floors, windows and doors had to be replaced but the result is a remarkable and beautiful summer home.

Brilliant colours in the living room.
A typical Andalucian town house built in 1900, it is arranged on three stories, culminating in a stunning roof-garden terrace. Sobrino's first priority was to respect and preserve the original structure and design. He was also determined to introduce as much light as possible into the building, as well as to create a highly personalised interior.

The roof terrace - antique bath sometimes
used as a jacuzzi
The design matches black paintwork with white walls, individualised by reclaimed floor tiles and varied by wallpaper and the occasional coloured wall. Most of the colour, however, is provided by the contents of the house.

The designer's unique style is apparent
as soon as you enter the hall.
