The preservation of the place’s identity and the characteristics of the original building guided our intervention, which proposed the addition of a new volume to the existing structure. This new volume mimics the shape of the contiguous naves, establishing urban and formal continuity while at the same time defining its own identity. It stands as the main entrance to the complex, maintaining a connection with the original building and preserving its image.
