Thinking about universal updating techniques on concrete scenarios leads us to situate ourselves in generic spaces, that is, those air-filled spaces that can be occupied with different uses over time.
For this situation, the client wished to transform a disused space such as the old living room into an 80m2 living space. Recycling was based on preserving the existing structure, leaving it in its natural state and allowing it to shape the possible spaces.
