Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

The selection of projects presented in this book includes the most diverse residential solutions. The spaces all have reduced proportions and conserve the principal design and architectural characteristics of this type of space. In every case, the space had a former use and has been rehabilitated, starting with the renewal of its deteriorated aspects. In general, the former function, as well as the formal existing elements, serve as the project's compositional theme. In most cases, the structural system has been emphasized and incorporated as an important element of the ambience.
