该项目面临的最大挑战是维护场地的古老记忆，并使之与改造相协调。基地内有一座16世纪的建筑，在20世纪不断加建，没有考虑任何建筑或历史的重要意义。因此设计的第一步是明确并复原这栋建筑的原始痕迹。其次，出于对原有建筑的尊重，新的体量中须置入必要功能，以释放历史建筑的空间。

The greatest challenge of the project development, was the guiding intent to respect and recover the ancient memory of the site, reconciling it with the intervention we were to carry out. On the site existed a 16th century construction that had been adulterated by successive additions, made throughout the 20th century, without any architectural or historical significance. In consequence, the first gesture was to identify and recover the original traces of this construction. Secondly, conditioned by the intent to respect the primitive construction, the insertion of the necessary functional program would have to be made in newly constructed volumes, releasing the historical heritage of the site.
