The renovated entrance hall, with direct access to the original stairwell, was maintained. Over the ground floor, were distributed two bedrooms, a living room, and a service area (linked to the garage). The living areas, (bedrooms and sitting room) are set around the block’s interior courtyard. This relationship with the outdoors ensures natural light, and allows for greater comfort in the rooms overlooking the patio. The middle floor acts as a single space. The kitchen, dining room and living room are separated by sliding doors that, when open, allow the separate areas to work as one open space. To create a more contemporary feel, the office is divided from the living room by a double-sided fireplace, taking advantage of part of an existing wall. The relationship of these spaces with the outdoor terrace, (situated above the lower floor bedrooms), means that they are inseparable from one another. The terrace works as an extension of the living space and is connected to the patio.
