The site was occupied with 2 vacant constructions. One of them had an historical façade characterized by the surroundings that required the preservation of the entire house. The ruin was restored, the facades were purified and the interior was cleaned. It became an outdoor patio to access the house that quietly occupies the unified space of the two lots. On the other lot, the existing building was totally deteriorated and had no scale to strong define the street corner. With its demolition it was possible to draw a new volume with the elevation of the adjacent buildings, organizing the house program vertically with decent street views. On the ground floor, a common garage provided greater functionality of the set.
