SEVILLE, HISTORY, ART AND DESIGN IN OUR NEW CRISTINE BEDFOR HOUSE
is a place where artists and architectshave left indelible marks,
turning it into a true open-air museum
Seville is a city that breathes history and culture in every corner. Its old town, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site,
Among them stands out Aníbal González Álvarez-Ossorio (1876), the leading figure of Andalusian regionalism and chief architect of the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. Works such as Plaza de España, the Murillo Gardens, or the Mudejar Pavilion are essential to Seville’s identity and reflect its mastery in the use of brick, ceramics, wrought iron, and the elegant reinterpretation of the Mudejar tradition.

One of his greatest legacies is the Neo-Mudejar building on Trajano Street, where Cristine Bedfor Seville now stands. Since its inauguration in 1922, this space has been a theater, a cinema, and a stage for the city’s cultural life, forming part of a street with a deep artistic tradition. Here worked Francisco Pacheco, master and father-in-law of Velázquez, who from his workshop at Trajano nº31 passed on to an entire generation of painters the essence of the Sevillian school. This neighborhood, always linked to creation, today welcomes Cristine Bedfor Seville with the same spirit of encounter and cultural dialogue.
To bring this house to life, we relied on the vision of interior designer Lorenzo Castillo, who has conceived a design that moves away from folklore to look instead towards Renaissance Seville, Europe’s port
in the 16th century.
A city that was a melting pot of cultures, a meeting point between Rome and the Andalusi world, between Genoa, Venice, and the routes to the East and the Americas. This cultural and aesthetic richness is embodied in Cristine Bedfor Seville through warm colors, noble textures, textiles inspired by tradition, and carefully selected pieces like small treasures. All updated with a contemporary eye that honors Seville’s heritage without recreating past styles.
The result is a refined, elegant, and sophisticated space, where stone, marble, tiles, and the memory of artists like Velázquez coexist in harmony with a new way of understanding hospitality. A house that breathes the essence of Seville and invites you to experience it from within, with the warmth of its history and the freshness of a design conceived for the present: this is how Cristine Bedfor is born in Seville.
