The building consist in 6 residential stories and having a amenity area at the ground floor. Dated on 1820 it currently have 11 completely rehabilitated apartments.

Those interventions impact the structural stability of the building, for instance, punched windows were open at the bearing walls of the central courtyard. Some of these interventions were irreversible and unstable becoming one of the main challenges of the intervention. A deep structural consolidation was done at the beginning of the project to fix some of these previous interventions but at the same time demolish any partition wall that creates dark and complex dwelling layouts.
