A couple from 9 de Julio hired architect Agostina Iraldi to renovate a two-room apartment in Buenos Aires for their son who is starting university. The apartment, built in the 1980s and located in the Palermo neighborhood, posed several challenges such as being small, dark, and in need of modernization. Upon reviewing the project, Iraldi was optimistic about the apartment's potential despite its initial condition.

With clear instructions and a limited budget from the clients, Iraldi executed a comprehensive renovation plan. The project was ambitious, but the architect worked efficiently to transform the apartment within two months, completing it just in time for the academic year to commence. The couple had already worked with her previously, which allowed for a seamless collaborative effort to achieve their vision for the space.

The renovation aimed to enhance the living conditions for their son, addressing the issues of space and light in a way that revitalized the old apartment. The successful turnaround not only provided a comfortable new home for the student but also demonstrated the architect's ability to optimize design under constraints, showcasing a practical example of modern apartment living in Buenos Aires.
