随后，尽管有可能在修复后的建筑体积内设计更多的楼层，在新的建筑图则中设计更大的楼面面积，但业主决定保留原来的建筑面积，翻修保留了两层主楼层，天花板特别高，施工计划是在仔细保护建筑外部外观的情况下编成的。

Immediately afterwards, Despite the potential for designing more levels within the volume of the restored building, larger floor area in a new building plan , the owner decided to keep the original volume,  and the refurbishment kept the two main floors with especially high ceilings and the construction plan was put together adhering to careful conservation of the external façade of the building.

上下层是按照自由的内部划分来规划的-尽可能多的开放空间，从而保持尽可能多的外部和内部能见度。开放空间还保留了外部开口的连续性，将外部外观转换为内部外观。窗户和外门为住宅空间和艺术收藏创造了一种与当代设计语言的对话。

The upper and lower levels were planned according to a free internal division - as many open spaces thus preserving as much visibility as possible both with respect to the exterior and interior. The open space also preserves the continuity of the exterior openings transforming the external façade into an internal façade. The windows and external doors create a dialogue with contemporary design language for both the residential spaces and the art collections.
