Residential › House. Renovation of an old Building that was completely demolished by the War in Syria. The idea of this project was to bring back life through architecture, thus the architect focused on a fresh tone accompanied with different shades of light colors.
The project is located in a very consolidated urban sector, on a busy street south of the city of Paraná. Initially, the place was an undeveloped and depopulated area in which a small temple was erected, with a gabled roof and side tower.

The platform led to a clear arrangement of program – private functions downstairs and to the rear, and the gathering spaces for the family on the upp...
