This project is a traditional house on a typical plot in the old part of the city with strange proportions: the narrow façade is 4 meters and the exaggerated depth is 25m.

There is a garage that illuminates the inner space of the house. On the main façade there was a proposal for an opening in the total width of the ground floor which includes a pedestrian entrance and a garage with a large, perforated sheet metal door. 

On the courtyard façade on the ground floor level, there is a large floor-to-ceiling glazing that turns the corner and lets in the existing kitchen volume which is painted in colour.

The staircase is also renovated with the opening of holes in the side walls to allow more light into the bathroom and a library room on the second floor and the attic study.
