Text description provided by architect.
Casa Hormiga is a single-family house located in a neighborhood scale context in San Fernando, Zona Norte, implanted and coexisting with the local regulations.
The main axis of the reform is to preserve the imprint of the existing building and to use a light structure that creates a link between the original house and the new intervention.
The exposed brick facade was left bare so that the original construction can be seen. Above it is the top floor with white sheet metal cladding.
Based on the possibilities and opportunities that the old building offered us, the secondary partitions were eliminated to make the floor plan more dynamic, obtaining more generous spaces and providing more light inside the house.
The duality of what was and what is new can be seen in the front part of the house. The structure of sliding folding sheet metal shutters gives dynamism to the facade.
