A wooden courtain was placed in front of the windows to give those rooms privacy. The courtain folds depending on the light and privacy the user wants. The courtain also evoques the courtains the original house had, commonly used in Acapulco houses on the 60’s. The fixed furniture such as beds and closets were designed to integrate with each space.

The stairs and structural walls are made of stone collected from the site, and the new structure is composed of circular steel columns. The vegetation of the place remained untouched, it provides shadow to the house and keeps the temperature cool. New vegetation was planted to give greener views and more privacy.
