The difficulty of access, determined the constriction of defining the project in multiple modular parts of the load of a small truck. The hobby and ability of the principal for the purchase of demolition materials, established a series of elements to incorporate in the house. These elements were reinterpreted in a new order: • Glazed doors of a house of Horacio Borgheresi, that of an origin of interior patio happen to be the main facade of the new house. • Parquet floors of eucalyptus and raulí of a work of Larraín, Swinburn and Covarrubias, that transform themselves into the main lining. • Used laminated beams and commercial steel profiles from a temporary exhibition, which are now the elements of the main structure.’ /
