The second block consisted of a bay divided into three sections, the first It housed a bathroom and the second a vestibular space, both with the same characteristics construction of the first block; the third section did not belong to the original construction, Since there was a change in height and use of different constructive elements, this last section does not have front walls, to allow vehicular passage from the garage to the end of the land.
Between the second and third blocks was a courtyard with a concrete floor without no vegetation, in it were observed the adjoining walls formed by a masonry basement and later block walls as a lattice, without finishing. In the third and last blockthere was a construction in black work, not belonging to the original construction, since there is a beam roof and vault on columns and beams of apparent concrete. Like walls adjacent, the unfinished block is observed as a lattice.
Project description
The main characteristics of the architectural project are described below. Of the property:
Facade:
It was proposed to respect the height of the pedestrian access span, since it corresponds to the Original architecture of the building, therefore, the height of the vehicular access was modified to generate two spans of the same height. The existing moldings were restored and They recovered demolished architectural elements. For the existing skirting board and architectural elements, a cement finish was made.
Polished white with UV-stable pigment, restored the carpentry of the main door and replacement of aluminum vehicular access door with aluminum doors wood that maintains the style of the original carpentry that is observed in the rest of the property.
