The functional principles that governed the project are:

Better use of the built area of the building;
More lighting comfort, and
More thermal comfort.

By changing to the time of entry, along with how articulate vertically ground and first floors  are, all new functioning suggests the conversion of ground floor to a  floor that is  highly social – with a spacious living room and dining, supported by the kitchen that serves them – and the first floor is more intimate where you sleep.

A foreign operation will consist in the creation of new openings facing south / west, benefiting the lighting and heating of spaces, while promoting a clear separation between the two floors that define the building volume.

In addition to cutting jobs will be executed and / or clearing of eaves and parapets, balconies and building, leveling the various existing plans and dissenters.
