近年来，对现有房屋的改造操作已成为建筑工作室的主要行动领域之一，特别是对于那些在像目前这样复杂的专业景观中迈出第一步的人。这个小公寓位于圣克鲁斯-德特内里费市的市中心。其高高在上的角落位置，紧挨着一个文物建筑群，使其可以看到城市和附近的山脉。

Transformation operations on existing homes have become, in recent years, one of the main fields of action for architecture studios, especially for those who are taking their first steps in a professional landscape as complex as the current one. This small apartment is located in the downtown area of the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Its elevated corner position next to an ensemble of heritage buildings gives it views over the city and nearby mountains.

这所房子，在其以前的状态下，响应了一个没有什么兴趣的类型；非常隔断，小房间通过一个黑暗和狭窄的走廊组织起来。从物业规定的需要两间卧室的方案开始，我们选择了一个简单的策略：压缩服务空间和卧室以释放公共区域的空间。这样一来，房子的分布就被修改了，重新安置了厨房，使其成为新的客厅-餐厅的一部分。一个连续而明亮的角落空间得以实现，可以看到周围的风景。
在分析阶段，我们发现了一些仍然隐藏在覆层和橱柜中的混凝土吊梁。它们的存在，使我们不仅选择了展示它们的无遮蔽性，而且它们还帮助构建了房子的新组织。桦木的连续包层将私人区域与公共区域区分开来，并允许我们用同样的材料来解决通道门和存储空间。

The house, in its previous state, responded to a typology of little interest; very compartmentalized, with small rooms organized through a dark and narrow corridor. Starting from a program defined by the property that required two bedrooms, we opted for a simple strategy: to compact the service spaces and the bedrooms to free up space in the common areas. This way, the distribution of the house is modified, relocating the kitchen, and making it part of the new living-dining room. A continuous and bright corner space that offers views of the surrounding landscape is achieved.
During the analysis phase, we discovered some concrete hanging beams that remained hidden in cladding and cabinets. Their presence was such that we chose not only to show them devoid of coverings, but they helped to structure the new organization of the house. A continuous cladding of birch wood differentiates the private areas from the common ones and allows us to solve the access doors and storage spaces with the same material.

我们选择了一个20×20厘米的液压铺面，以45度放置，让人联想到附近流行的住房的地板。此外，还增加了一些卡拉拉大理石带，再现了吊梁的结构方案，并标志着不同用途之间的过渡。最后，蓝色的天鹅绒窗帘被纳入其中，使房间可以变暗或变得独立，为整体提供了一个戏剧性的方面。一个在尺寸和预算上非常有限的干预，试图创造一个愉快和温暖的地方，从简单的生活。

A 20×20 cm hydraulic pavement has been chosen, placed at 45º, reminiscent of the floors of popular housing in the neighborhood. In addition, some Carrara marble bands are added that reproduce the structural scheme of the hanging beams and mark the transition between the different uses. Finally, blue velvet curtains were incorporated that allow the rooms to be darkened or made independent, offering a theatrical aspect to the whole. A very limited intervention in dimensions and budget, which tries to create a pleasant and warm place in which to live from simplicity.
