After the restoration of the small palace designed by Salaberry in 1907 on the Paseo de la Castellana, the new building has been designed in the old garden. The available space has been interpreted as the garden that it is, instead of treating it as just an ordinary plot of land. Consequently, the project’s points of reference are not the heterogeneous architecture that surrounds it, not even the oldest of them (Salaberry’s palace), but rather the place where it is located: a garden.
The aim is not just to replace the garden by a building but to transform the garden into an inhabited garden. After transforming the existing plan layout into a sustaining geometry, the solid habitable space is inserted into it.
