This protected status required the conservation of the existing volumes of the façade’s overall composition, and of the roof.  Image Courtesy © Jacobo Molina

The patio thus regained its ability to comfortably accommodate outdoor activities. The patio also recovered its original dimensions thanks to the removal of inappropriate elements which had been added over time.

The result meets the needs of the client within a container with high restrictions and a limited surface, while maintaining the essence of the original organization, which has a great sentimental value due to its connection to the previous family life.

Ceramic is used in the pavement of some relevant areas, such as the lobby and kitchen, for functional and aesthetic reasons, providing continuity and fluidity to the interior space.
