这座由业主的祖父在1959年建造的角落里的房子的历史，被这个家庭和邻里在其存在的六十年中所经历的转变所贯穿。当该地区的房屋逐渐被商店、酒吧和公寓楼所取代时，不同的商业职业也改变了它的特征和内部空间。然而，其第二层的标志性坡屋顶体量，以绿色窗户为标志，多年来一直保持着对该地区不断变化的景观的影响。

The history of this corner house, built in 1959 by its owner’s grandfather, is traversed by the transformations undergone by the family and the neighborhood in its six decades of existence. While the houses in the area were gradually being replaced by stores, bars, and apartment buildings, different commercial occupations also transformed its features and internal spaces. The iconic gabled roof volume of its second story, marked by green windows, nevertheless kept its impact over the neighborhood’s ever-changing landscape throughout the years.

2016年，业主决定将该住宅改造成一个联合办公空间，亲切地重新接触这个他度过童年的房子。因此，其墙壁上积累的记忆层成为设计团队处理该项目的主要准则。空间和时间的考古学并不以恢复建筑的 “原始 “状态为目的，而是根据功能、美学和感情等标准来指导改造工作。例如，剥落的绘画条纹的构成灵感来自于在主厅的一面墙壁上发现了一块隐藏着的原始包浆砖板。

In 2016 the owner decided to remodel the residence into a co-working space, affectionately re-approaching the house where he spent his childhood. Therefore, the layers of memory accumulated in its walls became the main guideline for the design team to approach the project. Archeology of space and time didn’t aim to restore the building to its “original” condition but instead guided the renovation based on criteria such as functionality, aesthetics, and affection. For example, the composition of peeled-off stripes of painting was inspired by the discovery of an original encaustic tile panel hidden on one of the walls of the main hall.

之前的扩建部分被拆除，恢复了悬在地面石墙外的上层体量的主角地位和轻盈感。它的平面图被大大改变，在其周边建立了花园，并将接待处重新安置在原有的楼梯旁边，在联合办公大厅和楼上的房间之间分配流通。

Prior extensions were demolished, recovering the protagonism and lightness of the upper floor volume overhanging beyond the stone walls of the ground level. Its floor plan was considerably altered by the creation of gardens on its perimeter and the repositioning of the reception next to the pre-existing staircase, distributing the circulation between the co-working hall and upstairs rooms.

延伸到露台上的凉棚，同时为大厅遮阳，保护它不受街道的干扰，并将房子的外墙和它的附属建筑的外墙统一起来。由金合欢、九重葛和茉莉花组成的花园将钢筋网架隐藏得非常彻底。它成为一个有生命力的建筑，使房子里充满了主人童年时的茉莉花的香味。

The pergola that stretches above the terrace, at the same time shades the hall, protects it from the street, and unifies the facades of the house with that of its annex. The garden of acacias, bougainvillea, and jasmines conceals the rebar Meshal most completely. It becomes a living architecture, filling the house with the scent of jasmine flowers from the owner’s childhood.

因此，空旷的空间、记忆和花园是这个项目的主要物质。穿过这些元素，红色和金属制品结构标志着整个建筑的新元素的存在。膨胀的板网、钢板和钢筋的使用已经被探索出所有的可塑性，赋予了凉棚、把手、护栏、门、门、窗户和自行车架的形式。

Thus, empty space, memory, and garden are the main substances of the project. Traversing those elements, the color red and metalwork structures mark the presence of new elements throughout the building. The use of expanded sheet screens, steel panels, and rebar has been explored in all its plasticity, giving form to pergolas, handles, guardrails, doors, gates, windows, and bicycle racks

整合建筑、家具、视觉识别和标识项目的可能性使得一套连贯一致的解决方案得以实现。该公司的标志设计融合了原有外墙的标志性形状和钢筋元素的线条和褶皱；建筑的纹理说明了文具作品，而金属制品的红色阴影被作为图形和标牌设计的非色调轴。后者反过来又采用了墙面绘画的条纹构成语言以及金属和三聚氰胺覆盖物的物质性。

The possibility of integrating architecture, furniture, visual identity, and signage projects allowed for a coherent and cohesive set of solutions. The company’s logo design merges the iconic shape of the pre-existing facade with the lines and folds of rebar elements; the building’s textures illustrate the stationery pieces, while the red shade of the metalwork is adopted as the achromatic axis for the graphic and signage design. The latter of which, in turn, adopts the language of the wall painting stripes composition and the materiality of the metal and melamine coverings.
