Vertical extension with two dwellings on an existing building. Rehabilitation of the whole estate included the hall, staircases, courtyards, facade, facilities and the placement of an elevator.

The aim is for the addition to be an extension of the façade rather than simply replicating it, so that the ground observer perceives consistency in the composition not only of the building, but of the whole street. The new floors serve as a finishing piece for the old building.

The lightness and pre-industrialization of the modules was aimed at reducing inconveniences to existing tenants, while also shortening the construction time.
