La Clara is the result of hollowing out an old establishment that extended into the chaotic depths of an inner block. A first patio, larger in scale and function, divides the more public space, in contact with the facade, from the bubble of private space, aided by a topographical shift that softens the visual contamination between them. A second patio, smaller in size, allows a similar subdivision into two bedrooms and a bathroom within the private space. With these two gestures, the entire program of the residence is resolved in a simple and organic manner, fitting around these two vertebrae and increasing in privacy as it penetrates inward. The materiality is resolved with an aesthetic of bareness and the unfinished, stripping all existing walls and stairs to reveal only the essence of the preexisting structure.

La Clara es el resultado del vaciado mediante patios de un antiguo local que se estiraba hasta las entrañas de un interior de manzana anárquico. Un primer patio, mayor en escala y funciones, divide el espacio más público, en contacto con la fachada, de la burbuja de espacio privado ayudado por un salto topográfico que sofoca la contaminación visual entre ellos. Un segundo patio, de dimensiones más reducidas, permite una subdivisión similar en dos habitaciones y un baño dentro del espacio privado. Con estos dos gestos se consigue resolver de una manera sencilla y orgánica, todo el programa de la vivienda que se acopla alrededor de estas dos vértebras y va aumentando en privacidad a medida que penetra hacia el interior. La materialidad se resuelve desde la estética de la desnudez y lo inacabado desvistiendo todos los paramentos y escaleras existentes para exhibir sólo la esencia de la preexistencia
