The project responds to the upcoming densification of the neighbourhood, where individual houses will be replaced by compact apartments, leading to the uniformity of domestic quality. It deals with nostalgia, understood as a tool to reintroduce disappearing spatial and social conditions. The proposal transforms an existing house into a shared domestic space for private gatherings that future apartments may no longer accommodate. In this sense, the house acts as a prosthesis of the apartment, extending its domestic capacity.

The house is divided into three slices, each functioning independently while remaining connectable into a larger collective space. The redundancy of domestic symbols such as fireplaces, double heights and gardens reinforces the idea of temporary domesticity and collective appropriation.

The basement hosts a more informal and unregulated space: a flexible area for spontaneous social activities, where domesticity becomes more chaotic.

The project embraces the concept of spolia through the reuse of fragments from surrounding houses destined for demolition, embedding traces of disappearing domesticities into the new intervention and transforming the house into both a space for new rituals and an archive of collective memory.
