To renovate is not merely to correct. It is to discover, to dismantle certainties, and to propose new ways of inhabiting.
The house no longer defends itself from the outside. A view opens where there was once a blind wall. The house unfolds in every direction, connecting with the city, with the light. The horizon, once fragmented, now frames itself through large open planes.
On plan, a diagonal cuts through the original structure —a reflection of an existing framework. It diverts paths, shifts axes, breaks the rigidity of inherited orthogonality. What once were limits are now transitions.
To reformulate the house is to rethink its programmatic balance. It is not about opening everything without measure. Planes that slide, doors that are not barriers but thresholds. Spaces that transform according to the moment, according to those who inhabit them.
A calculated risk lies in every gesture. To respect what the house once was, without fear of transforming it. To challenge constructive logic without betraying its essence. New objects and materialities coexist with the preexistence. To preserve memory while allowing for a future.
