Hence the enlargement of available area for spaces like kitchen for example, given its new status. Besides a practical answer to a contemporary housing program, it still requires maintenance, preservation and rehabilitation of the architectural elements that give its own identity.  Image Courtesy Joao Morgado - Architectural Photography The original partitioning is rigorously maintained and each compartment regarded as autonomous space to inhabit,capable of receiving a new type of use.Therefore, with the freedom that the linear order in sequential compartments gives, a different use of the spaces is proposed and simultaneously, a new interaction between these, now directly connect to each other through the opening of consecutive spans.

The light coming from two fronts, East and West, is transported to the inner most compartments were before there was an obvious light deficit.

On the other hand the flexibility of this solution will always permit there invention of the housing program, changing the proposed use for each compartment as well as the relations between these.
