The conversion of this three-storey building into a dwelling meeting contemporary functional requirements meant redistributing the open spaces of the original structure and dividing them into two areas: the living area and the service area, differentiated by their proximity to the exterior. The existence of one single facade where windows could be installed was the limiting factor for the rooms. Living, eating and sleeping, in a respective bottom-up order, are the functions stacked in each of the three storeys facing the exterior. The remaining activities and interior routes –respectively kitchen, toilet, storage, bathroom and stairs- are incorporated into the rear area built into a volume panelled with one single material: plywood boards. This way, the spaces have been differentiated by using different materials according to whether they have a primary or secondary function.
