The solution adopted has tried to keep the compositional structure of the both buildings forming the project. All of this, preserving the urban structure and proposing the ground-plot addition as a solution to clean this city area without damaging neither the urban spaces nor the catalogued elements, as well as softening the urban space’s definition with an adaptation in the building’s façades highness as well as in the patios pressured by the adjacent houses. The organizer’s structure keeps the urban traditional domestic architecture’s essential structural elements Such as the patios, halls, galleries... The entrance has an indirect access avoiding a direct and lineal one to discover later an issue of open and cover, shaded and enlightened spaces and searching the plurality of organizational spaces necessary to have privacy and good orientations in each apartment in a way in which the tour around these spaces gives an architectural tour through this micro-cosmos house. In the joining area of the two main patios, there is a strong distribution point where there are the stairs, the elevator and the stairs way to the underground. This nucleus’ connection with the number 6 entry vestibule, finish the consolidation of this space like the articulation between both Buildings. The opening of a new patio on the third bay allow the illumination and ventilation  in a dark area completing the five patios in the whole building that organize the project. The rising of a new plant will make possible the dialogue between the old architecture and the present one as well as the reconfiguration of the patios’ proportions reporting with the adjoining buildings and the façades with the street. To make stronger the urban ground-plot understanding the old one, the union wall is kept reducing its perforation, but warranting enough permeability between the different apartment parties, that being interiors need a façade to a patio. In the rising second floor element there is a construction that make acknowledged each ground-plot in its section as well as in its virtual spaces
