A low-inertia clip-on is added to a 1920s basque-style house which, interacting with the high-inertia masonry existing structure, produces a wide variety of climates. The clip-on provides a vertical shaft —new service core— which works as a climate mixer for the whole house. A new vertical garden with a water pulverization system contributes adds evapotranspiration to the climatic-physiological spectrum that the house provides.
