The (almost) surgical gestures were the relevant part of this operation intended to clarify and add a new dimension to the spaces of an existing 19th century bourgeois house.
Without giving up the density of the past, it was possible to create niches and glass circles, add new veins to the enfilade, open it up to the sky and to the summer garden, establishing multiple links to the outside, through light and materials, and drawing up new features.
The comfort of the colour was drawn from the sensitivity of those who live in it, from the warm walnut and the unexpected water-coloured wall, which brought Pompeii to the Bonfim neighbourhood.
