该项目将一栋70年代初的房子改造成一个有4个功能单元的多户住宅。该项目采用了传统看守所的构造材料模式，在现有的墙体建筑上装配了一个轻型结构，从而组织了扩展。
The project transforms a house from the early 70’s into a multi-family dwelling with 4 functional units. The project takes up the tectonic-material model of the traditional guardhouses, organizing the extension from the assembly of a light structure on the existing wall building.
一个钢筋混凝土梁座作为檐口，解决了现有建筑和新增建筑之间的过渡问题，框定了上层的发展，并引入了铁路岗亭的特点比例，即墙体比光线更重要。
A reinforced concrete beam-seat solves, as a cornice, the transition between the existing building and the added construction, framing the development of the upper level and introducing the characteristic proportion of railway booths where the walls predominate over the light.
上层的金属结构支撑着轻型的双扇形屋顶，使内部空间充满活力。围墙通过交替布置天然铝窗和镀锌的正弦金属板来解决。
The metal structure on the upper floor supports the light double-butterfly roof that energizes the interior spaces. The enclosure is resolved by alternately arranging natural aluminum windows and galvanized sinusoidal sheet metal panels.
上层的规则节奏延伸到了现有的部分，重新组织了周边砖石上的新开口。这种垂直协调被穿孔金属板百叶窗和绿色帆布遮阳篷所强调，它们在两层之间引入了色彩的连续性，并参考了铁路建筑的传统颜色。
The regular rhythm of the upper part extends to the existing one, reorganizing new openings on the perimeter masonry. This vertical coordination is accentuated by the perforated sheet metal shutters and the green canvas awnings, which introduce chromatic continuities between the two levels and refer to the traditional colors of the railway constructions.
覆盖物—红砖板条、质朴的花岗岩和水洗石混凝土–加强了底层的构造和土质特征，同时强调了与上部光滑和冷色调的颜色和纹理的对比，其特点是铝和锌，其灰色和浅蓝色的色调暗示了一种轻盈和通风的状态。
The coverings -red brick slats, rustic granite and washed stone concrete- reinforce the tectonic and earthy character of the ground floor while emphasizing the contrast of colors and textures with respect to the smooth and cold palette of the upper part, characterized by aluminum and zinc, which with their gray and light blue tones allude to a light and airy condition.
