如同大多数修复工程一样，这个项目的前提是解决问题，使建筑的使用更符合业主的要求。它的主要问题是：墙内持续潮湿，这在以前进行的任何干预措施中都无法解决，并且一直在破坏每一个饰面和家具，这些都是最接近的。
As in most rehabilitations, the premise of this project was to solve problems and adapt the construction to use more in line with the owner’s searches. Its main problem of habitability: the constant humidity in the walls that could not be solved in any of the previous interventions carried out in the place and that has been damaging every finish and piece of furniture that has had minimal proximity.
我们定义了3个简单的行动，首先，移除砖墙上的多种饰面和密封剂，这些饰面和密封剂在寻求解决湿度问题时，最终增加了问题。通过去除这些临时的防潮屏障，我们允许墙体呼吸，让湿气继续向室内流动。为了避免可能引起的问题，我们决定将所有的家具和墙壁与这些内部的外墙分开，并创建一个连续的花盆，由于丰富的植被，控制了房子的湿度，以同样的方式，我们在天花板上开了一个连续的天窗，控制这些外墙的多余水分，为植物提供自然照明。
We defined 3 simple actions, first, remove the multiple finishes and sealants that the brick wall had, which, in search of solving the humidity, ended up increasing the problem. By removing these temporary moisture barriers, we allow the walls to breathe and the moisture to continue its course toward the interior. To avoid the problems that this could cause, we decided to separate all furniture and walls from these internal facades and create a continuous planter, which thanks to abundant vegetation controls the humidity of the house, in the same way, we opened a continuous skylight in the ceiling that controls excess moisture on these facades and provides natural lighting for plants.
关于空间的重新分配，我们决定重新安置浴室；首先，因为它位于项目的一端，这意味着要访问它，你必须穿过整个房子，限制了每个空间的隐私。其次，它占据了唯一现存的外墙的一大部分，既限制了照明和自然通风的入口，也限制了室内空间与这里丰富的自然环境的关系。浴室开始作为一个集中的核心，根据它们所需要的亲密程度来隔离房屋的活动，一边是卧室，另一边是厨房、餐厅、客厅和室外露台。所有这些都与外部的性质和新的内部地带有关。
Regarding the redistribution of space, we decided to relocate the bathroom; first, because it was located at one end of the project, which meant that to access it you had to go through the entire house and limit the privacy of each space. Second, it occupied a large part of the only existing façade and limited both the entrance of lighting and natural ventilation as well as the relationship of the interior space with the abundant nature of the place. The bathroom begins to function as a centralized nucleus that segregates the activities of the house according to the level of intimacy they require, on one side, the bedroom, and on the other, the kitchen, dining room, living room, and outdoor terrace. All in relation to the nature of the exterior and the new interior strip.
