Text description provided by the architects. The El Viso neighbourhood was designed in 1926 by the architect Enrique Pfitz. The buildings are catalogued with level II volumetric protection, and must be modified in accordance with the regulations. When the clients bought the home, it didn’t follow the regulations. They conveyed to us their concern about recovering urban planning legality and respectfully restoring the home. The first thing we carried out was the demolition of the illegal areas and structural stabilization. From this moment we followed the reverse construction logic, that is, starting the house from the roof. The roof was rebuilt according to the established model and then the rest of the floors were built.
