T
he house was in relatively
good structural condition and
the architect's approach to
the restoration focused on returning
the building to its original state,
while upgrading and extending the
spaces to make them better suited to
contemporary living.
In general, the ideology was to
intervene with an architectural
language that was silent and direct
with a reduction of architectural
elements and materiality using a basic
palette of stone, steel and concrete.
The interventions carried out include
rationalising the back facade with the
construction of two back wings of
the property formed by small rooms
to complete its symmetry and the
construction of a recessed volume at
roof level to complement an already
existing volume divided by an existing
staircase to the upper roof.
