A better communication with the public space, interior privacy, an enlargement of the space and its optimization have been key points for the renovation of this house in the neighborhood of Belgrano. The studio Adamo Faiden Arquitectos has made three specific reforms that address all these issues.
Description of the project by Adamo Faiden Arquitectos
The update consisted in three punctual interventions. The first of them seeks to enhance the connections with the public space while protecting the privacy of the interior space.
To that end, an enclosure device is superposed to the existing front that, by its shape and materiality, intends to build a contemporary way of relating to the exterior. The second intervention focuses on the basement of the house. The change of habits in terms of domestic ecology, plus the update in the installations systems allowed freeing a new space that was reused for the creation of a multi-purpose room. Finally, a light pavilion creates a habitable double-façade system that extends the back limits of the house, mediating between exterior and all the interior instances of it. The position of its openings allows the circulation of the air that crosses through all the areas that were not materially part of the intervention.
