The project concerns the renovation of an appartment in a residential building of the early '900. The reserch draws upon reaching the maximum spatial possibilities through a process of subtraction in order to achieve the essencial of the buildings construction system. The load-bearing walls became the main elements through wich the space defines and organizes itself. The dividing walls are placed following this tracking and together with the load-bearing walls form clear, defined and diferent spaces among them.
The square space of the living room is the heart of the house from where you can reach the other premises. The two spaces of the kitchen and dining-room together with the living room reveals a circular path through two different openings in the load-bearing wall, that allows you to recognize the scale of the buildings strutture. From the living you can access to other areas according to the spatial sequence drawn from the windows along the facade. The bathrooms are designed as two different spatial conditions. One 'white', where the light enters laterally by two openings and draw different spaces. One 'black' where the light captured by the roof, illuminates the shower space and allows the more 'internal' space of the house to relate itself with the sky.
