The flat is split in two levels: the one below – an ordinary residence; the one above – a terrace of scarce use, where an informal storage construction is placed.  Image Courtesy © Hugo Santos Silva

The proposal reorganizes the spaces of the apartment, empties the terrace and utilizes the ceiling height of the uninhabited attic, exposing the roof structure and the atmosphere of an old building. The social space now includes the kitchen, while the private spaces are gathered in the rear area of the apartment.
