The project starts from the idea of ​​using brick in its most expressive form and associating it with its structural and climatic benefits, together with the idea of ​​introducing an architectural typological element with which it could be combined.

Teatinas, zenith ventilation and lighting components incorporated in a systematic way in the constructions of the cities of Peru, from the end of the 18th century to the first years of the 20th century. The idea of ​​the teatina as an air conditioning element was interesting and it was decided to enhance its faculties by turning the section of it into a habitable space, which would allow to house, for example, rooms with a more pleasant scale, with large windows for lighting and ventilation, in addition to having the possibility of being expanded in the future from wooden mezzanines.
