A morfologia da proposta pretende valorizar o imóvel original adicionando uma ampliação a tardoz. Com a ampliação posterior ficam garantidas as condições não só para aumento das áreas habitáveis como também para relocalização das escadas que não interfira com largura de compartimentos habitáveis e, sobretudo, inserção de plataforma elevatória vertical que ligue todos os pisos: do estacionamento, ao piso dos quartos, passando pelos pisos sociais e do jardim a tardoz. Permite também o volume ampliado, aproveitando a demolição da fachada posterior original já bastante adulterada, garantir mais iluminação natural ao interior da moradia, sobretudo nesta sua orientação a Norte. A criação de largos vão envidraçados nesse sentido possibilita ao mesmo tempo que as novas fachadas que se distingam do Prédio existente, destacando assim visualmente as fachadas originais a manter, parte integrante do Conjunto Urbanístico que a intervenção proposta também pretende valorizar. No que respeita a cobertura do corpo ampliado, da mesma forma e apesar de não ser visível a partir da via pública, a mesma não deve mimetizar a cobertura original mas antes garantir que esta última se destaque. Nesse sentido, propõe-se a utilização de materiais distintos dos materiais originalmente utilizados na cobertura, de forma a diferenciar os distintos momentos de edificação.

From the street it appears as a closed monolith suspended above the ground, an image immediately deconstructed by its luminous interior. The entry sequence begins with a bridge that spans the sunken garage court and rises gently from the sidewalk to the upper level, where the hall marks the social entrance at the very center of the house. From here the plan unfolds into two volumes: a private wing with the bedrooms, and a social wing holding the living, dining and kitchen areas. Between them, a generous courtyard grants each wing independence and privacy, draws daylight deep into every room, and extends downward as an outdoor living space connecting to the gardens and pool on the lower level, where a second, everyday entrance sits beside the covered parking. The material palette reinforces the duality between opacity and light: white brick walls face the street, while glass-brick planes and full-height glazing dissolve the house toward the gardens — opaque by day, glowing like a lantern at dusk.
