The project focuses on the rehabilitation of a penthouse in a house built in 1930. The space was in disuse and without divisions. The unique pre-existence was the timber truss that held the roof of the building, and which became the leitmotif of the project.
The program was conceived to give service to a family who lived in the city, and due to the global pandemic (COVID 19) they decided to return to the hometown to be closer to their relatives. A fairly standard program was required: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living-dining room, a kitchen and two study-work spaces (one for children and one for adults).
The main strategy was to locate the bedrooms (understood as closed, privative, introspective spaces) in the corners of the house, and add a patio in the centre to generate a resulting recessed space where the rest of the pieces will be located (common spaces to interrelate).
This approach allows, firstly, to articulate the relation between de shared areas without any partitions, and secondly, to show the wooden truss in the most interesting points to give it the prominence it deserves.
