架构师提供的文本描述。这两座房子空荡荡了二十年，在其中一个立面上涂鸦成了“人们可以离开这里”。新业主计划建造9套公寓出租。

Text description provided by the architects. The two houses, which remained empty for twenty years, became known by the graffiti in one of the facade “People could leave here”. The new owner planned to build 9 apartments for rental.

由于这座建筑的内部结构不存在，我们决定采取激进行动，使其符合其新目的。这些老房子只剩下它的外墙，现在已经保存和翻新了。

As the internal structure of the building didn’t exist, we decided to take a radical action that would result suitable for its new purpose. All that remained standing of these old houses were its outer walls, now preserved and renovated.

此外，这个项目，并没有使用旧立面似乎暗示的封闭形状，我们选择在立面内部创建四个不同形状的空间，这些空间组成了四座小塔楼，公寓之间相互重叠。每间公寓面积接近50平方米，包括两层楼，有客厅/厨房，还有卧室和浴室。

Moreover, the project, instead of using the enclosed shape that the old facades seemed to suggest, we chose to create, inside the facades, four isolates volumes with different shapes, which make up four small towers where the apartments overlap. Each apartment is close to 50Sqm, and consists in two floors with a living room/ kitchen and a bedroom and Bathroom included. 

当把新的室内立面的四层与两个旧的立面分开时，这个项目不破坏城市记忆的规模。现有的两层窗户现在隐藏了四层新的楼层，在这里，现有的立面在公寓和繁忙的街道之间起到了过滤的作用。我们试图从现有的对象(旧的外观)和一个独立的、与新的塔相融合的新对象之间建立一种结构几何之间的张力。

When dissociating the four floors of the new interior facade from the two old facades, the project, allowed not destroying the scale of urban memory. The two levels of existing windows hide now four new floors, where the existing facade plays the role function of a filter between the apartments and the busy street. We tried to create a tension between a structured geometry from the existing object (old facade) and a new object of clear rules, independent, which merges with the new towers.

进入公寓的通道是一个露天走廊，通向外面一个普通的楼梯。

The access to the apartments is done by an open-air gallery that leads to a common staircase in the outside.

此外，小规模的变化在公寓、居住空间和露台之间以及与这些地区互动中受益的居民之间创造了关系多样性。总之，公寓构成了一个单一的建筑，一个为人类关系和与城市本身的互动创造空间的环境。

Beside, small-scale shifts create relational diversity among the apartments, between the living spaces and the terrace and also among the inhabitants, who benefit from interacting with these areas. Altogether the apartments form a single building, an environment that creates spaces for human relationships and interactions with the city itself.
