The project raised the extension of a house of social interest that counted on 53m2 in its original state and required an extension of 90m2 in one second plant to satisfy the necessities with space of a family of five members. With a limited initial budget, it was required that the extension did not imply a total demolition of the house, thus seted out that the intervention was carried out you dare of a concrete structure from independent to the already existing house, in such a way that supported the total load of the extension without requiring of first, since within the preliminary studies that were made of the present state, it was solved that the existing structure could not support a load superior to 300kg/m2. The house is located within division projected by the Infonavit to the outskirts of the urban zone of Atotonilco el Alto, more than half of the population that resides in this division she is not original of the region, the majority is of the city of Guadalajara, that works of temporary form in this city.
