After months of searching, we found this small town-house, almost a ruin, completely propped up, with its façade deformed between two buildings twice as tall. A kind of survivor, he has somehow managed to persist through the city renovation on the 60s hidden on Martínez Montañés Street, which is less than 4m wide.

Our approach is that of the typological rehabilitation of the house, returning the hallway-patio-staircase-gallery structure that we recognize as constitutive of the house in Seville, and modifying the position of the second patio to, without altering the first two bays, organize the house between more private and secluded spaces on the left and openings, light and available space on the right. Thus, we managed to transfer the rhythm of shadows from the street through the two patios, one covered and interior and the other open and in contact with the changing weather. In this way we combine the open phenomenological experience with the structure and typological movements of the Sevillian home.
