The intervention in this building adds two floors to the pre-existing building, giving it more residential capacity. The differentiation of this addition is only visible inside the building, as the façade uses a traditionalist language that replicates the formal and material characteristics of the pre-existing building. In this way, although it contributes to maintaining the image of the property and its relationship with its surroundings, without significant visual impact, it is not possible to distinguish the added parts, compromising the reading of the building's authenticity and contributing to the facadism of the entire urban ensemble.
