The owners of four apartments into an 50’s obsolete residential block promote their complete renovation for a new use with retal purposes. The investors pretend to preserve its historical character and provide to the flat the contemporary commodities and normative adjustments.

The project maintains the original floor plan of private areas and extends the daytime spaces, connecting the pre-existing living rooms with a kitchen and a corridor with the demolition of all intermediate walls, in order to provide a new multipurpose character. A new suspended ceiling above the daytime spaces contains additional insulation and technical fixture connections. The whole surface of walls and ceiling is painted in a white neutral color while the floor is maintained, if they are in good condition, or replaced for new one of ceramic material.
