Its original distribution consisted of four small rooms, a bathroom in the middle area, and a small kitchen and a separated toilet after a dark corridor on the south side. According to the new living needs is projected a two bedrooms apartment with two bathrooms, demolishing the totality of the old partitions.
The project starts with the visual connection of the diagonal axis, catching the light from the south, where is the kitchen.
