At Home in Madrid with Lorenzo Castillo

When renowned Spanish interior designer Lorenzo Castillo found his current home, over 20 years ago, it was a neglected theater and costume warehouse. Originally a 17th century monastery, in the 18th century it had been transformed by the King’s architect, Ventura Rodríguez, into a majestic palace. Tag along for a behind the scenes visit with Susanna to see how Lorenzo was able to reinvent the large building into his home, studio and warehouse – a glorious representation of his many talents.
