The project's guiding principle was a blend of old and new. The architects preserved the residential building's facade to restore its historic charm which includes the elegant iron arched doorways and the original ceramic tiles.
The lower floor prioritizes social spaces - living and dining areas are united to flow together, as large glass doors separate the kitchen. This lends a sense of connection while maintaining distinct spaces.
Fragmentos redesigns the roof to maximize verticality without altering the building's height. This strategy allows natural light to cascade through skylights, flooding the interiors with sunlight.
While the project functions as two independent residences, a shared entrance hall, access points, and parking connect them to their neighbors - a solution which ensures efficient use of space.
