Given the high constraints that the current spatial organization presents, and the poor quality of its physical elements, which end up creating non-ventilated and non-illuminated interior spaces, it is proposed to demolish the existing building and expand the area, through the addition of a new floor.
On the 1st floor, the construction of the most social area of ​​the house is planned, housing all the common spaces. The entrance, marked by an imposing shade of blue that contrasts with the white of the facades, leads us to a living and dining area directly connected to the kitchen that works in open space, perfectly articulated with each other. Given the lack of natural light and ventilation in the building, there was a careful concern to create more spans, thus giving more quality to the interior spaces.
Still on the 1st floor we have access to a service sanitary installation, a storage space and a technical area. The stairs, designed to create an “element” that provides easy circulation between floors, are located on the side of the house giving access to the upper floor.
On the 2nd floor, we are facing the most private area of ​​the entire building, with two bedrooms, each with its own sanitary installation and also a circulation area that will lead us to the roof, without interfering with the experience of the other spaces.
This project presents us with the traditional roof terrace and characteristic chimney, elements that mark the architecture of this fishing town. A social space equipped with an outdoor kitchen and a leisure area.
Taking into account its current exterior, which lacks architectural quality, efforts were made to improve the alignments and metrics of the façade spans and give it beautification through traditional mass friezes, consequently improving both the aesthetics and the salubrity of the building, as well as the their integration into the city.
