  The listed 19th century building is located in the neighbourhood of Lavapiés, expansion area off old Madrid bounded by a walled enclosure built in 1625 by King Philip IV during Habsburgs dinasty.  
     
  Located between medians in a long and narrow plot, the building responds to a traditional typology named “corrala”: dwellings are located around two core of stairs and two courtyards that provide access, ventilation and lighting of the homes not facing the facade.  
     
  The integral rehabilitation, promoted by Municipal Housing Company of Madrid (EMV), is based on transform building homes up to social housing standards.  
     
  This is achieved reducing the number of homes, and undertaking an integral restoration, including wooden structure with light concrete slabs, glass floors in common areas to provide more luminous homes, new water, electricity and heating facilities, and adapted lifts.  
     
  Because the complex work location, industrialization solutions are proposed to reduce execution deadlines and costs, such as pumped lightweight concrete, dry wall partitions and modular facilities, as an innovative proposal for this type of rehabilitation works.
