The conceptual premise of the mission is the juxtaposition of colonial and up to date architecture. The nineteenth century “casona” was restored, the add-on that was constructed in the course of the 1960s was demolished to offer solution to the unique central patio format, conventional in any such building.

The facade was reworked to protect the essence of the weather of colonial houses of the time, and place it throughout the context of the neighborhood: doorways and home windows are based mostly on the normal design, the normal moldings are represented by horizontal slits and the baseboard is reinterpreted utilizing white concrete.
