In cities with a rich architectural heritage, as new architectural expressions are created, it is important that the architecture of the past is rescued and revalued, whether it is colonial, neoclassical, modern, etc. This premise was the starting point of this restoration process. The new owners´ brief was to adapt this everyday family house to a house for resting to be occupied during short spells throughout the year.

Before the remodeling, the house was basically made up of two parts: the house itself and the backyard, which was used as a orchard. The intervention consisted in reusing existing spaces and rearranging them according the needs of the new inhabitants. As well as maximizing the aesthetic qualities of the materials and forms. All these changes had to maintain the premise of connecting the interior with the exterior.

The project maintained one of its greatest space virtues of the old homes, “introverted life, Wide interior-exterior relationship and a rich culture integration and respect to the past.” The result is a space created about one century ago, completely renovated, that utilizes its rich space and aesthetic that adds value with its cultural heritage.
