The site was originally subdivided in two square parts adjacent with only one window in every room resulting in a very poor illumination. The original structure of the construction was modified adding a sliding window as the only light source, at the same time the dividing walls were eliminated, substituting the central column by a beam set out in two existing perimeter columns in order to link the two rooms and also integrate the space of 5 sq. meters of a restroom that was not in use and this space is now the kitchen area.

Every piece of furniture was specially designed for this space, with wood as a defining and divisor element of the different areas to show or hide the public and private zones of he project.
