Located almost on the border between province and city, it is located on its own lot on two floors, a front patio and a large garden at the back. The existing house dates back to 1980 and its great particularity comes from the four continuous brick barrel vaults that make up the ground floor. The biggest problem with this was the lack of light inside and its great fragmentation of spaces. The intervention proposes to connect the front patio with the back garden. The final line of the house is retracted to achieve a complete view of the entire lot towards the gallery and light inlets are also generated through the upper semicircles.
