Laura Carrillo in Lifestyle Porcelanosa
Lifestyle magazine presents one of Laura Carrillo’s most comprehensive and demanding residential projects, where Porcelanosa materials are the main characters.
Located in Riyadh, the Saudi capital, Laura Carrillo developed this demanding residential project, overseeing it from its inception to its final execution. A long and complex process where architecture and interior design always went hand in hand: customization and the client’s expectations were the main objectives in achieving this result.

Aesthetic, functionality and style.
When undertaking projects like this, it’s essential to be clear about the essence you want to convey because the aesthetics, functionality, and style depend on it. In the interior designer’s words for Lifestyle: “When approaching a project like this, I always consider, first and foremost, its culture and context. And second, I understand the client’s lifestyle. It helps me better understand the purpose of the space itself, what it will be used for, whether it’s purely for family or for a broader social setting, whether it requires formal spaces or more intimate ones. My goal in for this project was to create a complete space to be lived, loved and used daily”.

Personalization through Materials
In projects with so many square meters and such varied spaces, the material selection phase is very laborious. It involves carefully selecting the right material for each area, knowing when to maintain and when to differentiate, while maintaining aesthetic coherence throughout the project. At the same time, it is essential to consider the technical aspects of these materials: their efficiency, durability, resistance, and versatility. To combine all these aspects, it is essential to rely on a brand that guarantees the highest quality and professionalism; that is why Laura Carrillo chose PORCELANOSA: “I am proud to say that together with Porcelanosa, we have achieved an optimal result that met the client’s expectations and enormous versatility in terms of the variety of materials, respecting the inspiration of the atmosphere and the overall project in each and every one of them.”
When selecting materials, it’s always necessary to balance the client’s taste with the overall aesthetic of the project and, of course, with the technical characteristics of each material.
Unique interiors, projects with soul
Detailed and personalized follow-up throughout each phase of the project is the key strategy for achieving the desired results.
Whether it’s a private home or a large contract project, the goal is to create a union between architecture, concept, and space, combining materials, textures, colors, furniture pieces, and even the smallest detail. This is the hallmark of all Carrillo’s work, a fundamental key to achieving “unique interiors and projects with soul.”
