This project, consisted in the intervention and rehabilitation of a neglected property in a 150 years old building, preserving it and giving it a new use as office and residence for a young professional. The intervention in this ground floor, visibly disfigured through the years, supposed removing several layers of materials that were put over the original structure to leave only the original elements found in the house.
The unit has been divided in two different parts: the office part is situated in the public area, in the first corridor, acting as a barrier of privacity for the residential part, that opens to the interior patio. The residential area is equipped with an open plan kitchen and dining room; a bedroom separated of the rest of the house with a large monolith that contains wardrobes and kitchen appliances such as wine fridge and freezer. there is also a fully equipped bathroom and a living room leading into the garden.
The living room has a 3 panel window that opens to the courtyard, making a seamless border between interior and exterior of the house. The flooring combines tiles and gravel to delimitate the spaces.
