4 Plaza de la Paz
Senda d'Arte is housed in No. 4 Plaza de la Paz, San Martin de Teverga. It is one of the three original great houses in the village. Three stories of history, family, business and love.
After four years of careful renovation, the house has transformed in modern comfort, yet painstakingly preserved the traditional character with wooden beams, chestnut doors, stone walls, terrazzo tiles and a great terrace.
Projects
Historic Preservation
While preserving the beauty of the original home, it has been renovated with modern luxuries such as an energy efficient, cutting-edge heating and cooling system with individual controls in each room.
Modern lighting in the studios and apartments.
Yet, beams and rock walls, chestnut doors and wrought iron balconies remain.
New work, while modern in design, utilized local artisans to construct from local wood and metals, mirroring the original glory.
Accommodations
The house is divided into two apartments on the top two floors. However, strangely, the flow of living within the entire house is natural.
The top apartment:
-
3 bedrooms
-
1 shared bath
-
An open plan kitchen/dining/living area
-
a loft library
The second floor:
-
3 bedrooms-2 with private studios
-
2 shared baths
-
an open kitchen/dining/living area.
The Main Studio
At just under 70 meters square, the main studio is bathed in light from floor to ceiling windows on the north and south sides. The traditional terrazo tiles have been restored, lending a freshness to the space.
Here easels for painting, work tables for whatever you can imagine, and a complete metal smithing station await your journey.
The Ceramic Casita
Set along the river, the Ceramic Casita is a small, light‑filled workspace dedicated to clay. Some neighbors say it was once the village mill-house; now it holds work tables, and shelving for drying and glazing. It’s a quiet, self‑contained studio where you can sink into long, focused sessions with your hands in the clay, step straight into the stream, or simply prop open the window to listen to the song of the river.
The Outdoor Studio
Outside, a 16‑square‑meter covered studio opens directly onto the garden. It offers shaded work tables, a large divided sink inspired by the village’s old stone fountains for laundry and water, and open space for larger projects, outdoor painting, or simply spreading out materials in the fresh air. It’s a place to work with the weather, listening to the river and the village around you as you create.
Riverside Terrace
The riverside terrace is a large garden platform with a few quiet worlds tucked inside it. A grape‑covered pergola shelters a long table for slow, shared meals, beside an open lounge. Another seating area by the stream with a fire pit ready for late night story telling.
Roses, lavender, Japanese maple, pear, magnolia, and a young olive tree give the space a gentle, secret‑garden feel—somewhere to drift, talk, or simply listen to the water.
