This modification resulted in an unexpected plan configuration.

The parking is cover by a green roof that improves views form the back apartments offering a small garden of native plants. A pallet of monochromatic materials gives visual unity to the whole structure, although with differentiated textures.

The back façade, facing the city and the bad orientation, was formalized with a more domestic and casual image that connects it to its neighbors.
