Among the three existing bedrooms, two of them have been demolished.
The main interventions were the removal of a utility room to relocate the new laundry. And the old one has been changed to the new kitchen. At last, the living room assumed the place from part of what had once been a kitchen, giving space to a rectangular plan.

The program organization comes from a wooden box, which includes: dormitory, bathrooms, kitchen and laundry. This volume assumes a sensitive quality, once that it seems to be fitted in the previous space. Part of the box, set to the living room, has different features, among them: hidden office opened by accordion doors, support for air conditioning, coffee machine niches, a collection of handmade ceramic dishes; and finally, the doors that give access to the private part of the apartment.

The wooden box as well as the parallel bookcase, made by metallic sheets, have the same height and are located in the longitudinal direction of the space. Together, they attach visual comfort because of their proportions and direct the visitor's gaze to the treetops outside the building.

In the kitchen, the cobogó - a king of rolled brick - filters the sunshine with its shapes producing shadows on the floor. These ones were eternally printed on the floor, with amused pink granite circles.
