这座建于20世纪初的房子，位于一块非常狭长的土地上，由两部分组成。房子的主入口在主楼里，厨房在一个附属的低层楼里。这个建筑出现了一些问题，但很容易解决，即屋顶结构的问题。
The house built in the early years of the 20th century, on a very long and narrow plot of land, consisted of two volumes. The main entrance to the house was in the main volume and the kitchen was in an annex, lower volume. This construction presented some pathologies, of easy resolution, namely in the roof structure.
然而，这个家庭想要修复祖父母的房子，与所发现的相比，有一个更严格的计划。它的目的是，首先要有一个可以享受南边的室外空间的生活空间，仍然是农业和非常美丽。
However, the family wanted to rehabilitate the grandparents’ house with a more demanding program compared to that found. It was intended, above all, to have a living space that could enjoy the outdoor space to the south, still agricultural and very beautiful.
因此，现有的内部组织原则被改变，只保留了房子的主入口。
Therefore, the existing interior organization principle was changed, keeping only the main entrance of the house.
因此，在北面，紧挨着入口，以前是客厅，是双卧室。厨房空间（有一个独立的入口，可以直接通向南部的地块）被浴室取代，关闭入口的门，洗衣房直接通向外面，保持现有的。
Thus, to the north, next to the entrance, formerly the living room, is the double bedroom. The kitchen space (with an independent entrance and with direct access, to the south, of the lot) was replaced by the bathroom, closing the entrance door, and the laundry room, with direct access to the outside, maintaining the existing one.
南面是居住空间和厨房，设计了一个新的开口，打破了用石头砌成的房屋开口的通常比例。为此，有必要建造一个钢筋混凝土梁。利用这一结构需要，我们决定在房子周围建造一个门楣梁，将原来的高度增加35厘米。有了这个结构的引入，就有可能改变屋顶的结构，简化它，并允许在阁楼上设置一个房间。
To the south, the living space and the kitchen were placed, designing a new opening that breaks with the usual proportions of the openings of houses built with stone masonry. For this, it was necessary to build a reinforced concrete beam. Taking advantage of this structural need, it was decided to build a lintel beam around the house, increasing the old height by 35 cm. With this structural introduction, it was possible to change the roof structure, simplify it, and allow the location of a room in the attic.
一些细节的设计是为了使这种变化从外部和内部都能巧妙地看到。
Some details were designed so that this change would be subtly visible both from the outside and from the inside.
从外面看，构成屋顶结构的木片的设计似乎没有接触到外墙，表明它是一个事后制作的元素。另一方面，在内部，门楣梁与石砌体的关系被留在了视野中，只是被涂上了油漆。
From the outside, the design of the wooden pieces that make up the roof’s structure do not seem to touch the exterior walls, showing that it is an element made a posteriori. On the other hand, on the inside, the lintel beam in its relationship with the stone masonry is left in view, having only been painted.
