FAMILY HOUSE RENOVATION
A single-family house with load-bearing masonry of handmade fired bricks and stone was redesigned. It represents a typical example of vernacular urban architecture, with a design typology that refers to the early 20th century, although the construction itself is later.
The original organization of the space followed the usual pattern: a low-height semi-basement, historically used for storing supplies, harvests, and in rural contexts even for stabling animals, while the elevated ground floor was used as the main living area.
Through the new design, both the layout and the floor levels were redefined to accommodate the needs of a family with three children. The main living spaces were set on the raised ground floor, while part of the semi-basement, which opens directly onto the courtyard, was also transformed into habitable space. The floor level of the ground floor was adjusted to increase the clear height of the basement, making it functional. New sanitary and storage areas were introduced, and an internal connection between the two levels was created, generating a continuous flow within the house.
In terms of materiality, the study focused on reconnecting the building with the character of the period in which it was inhabited up to the 1970s–1980s. Materials such as glass blocks, ceramic tiles in white and cotto tones, as well as vivid pop colors paired with natural finishes, were chosen to bridge past and present.
