Rehabilitation of Duplex Housing is located in an industrial warehouse and is developed at two heights. The project does not vary the volume, it focuses on an interior intervention.

Maintaining the current access, the first floor is released forming a large living-dining room with an attached kitchen that opens onto the terrace, to which it has access. Near the entrance, there is an auxiliary bedroom, a bathroom, and a laundry room. The living room is connected to the upper floor by a spiral staircase that leads to a small living area above it. On this floor, there are three bedrooms, one of them with a dressing room, and two bathrooms, as well as a small storage room that takes advantage of the non-inhabitable space below the roof.

The original structure is maintained by opening the large double-height opening above the living room and adding the structure of the staircase and roof with a metal structure.

The large terrace is the roof of the nave on which the house is placed, a house that belonged to the family that worked in said workshop, something very common in Galicia.

Anastasia Andreieva is an accomplished Architectural Projects Editor at Arch2O, bringing a unique blend of linguistic expertise and design enthusiasm to the team. Born and raised in Ukraine, she holds a Master’s degree in Languages from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Her deep passion for architecture and visual storytelling led her to transition from translation and editorial roles into the world of design media. With a keen eye for conceptual clarity and narrative structure, Anastasia curates and presents global architectural projects with precision and flair. She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
