El Paraíso

The project converts a two-storey, two-bedroom single-family house into three flats. The house is restructured and extended upwards by one storey to provide one two-bedroom flat per level, 170 m² in total.

Each flat is organised around an open kitchen and living space facing outdoors. Walls of perforated ventilation blocks filter light and air, ensuring natural cross-ventilation while preserving privacy. Year-round thermal comfort is achieved without air conditioning, with a restrained palette of local materials. At ground level, planted beds in open soil and semi-permeable terraces limit soil sealing on the plot.
