Preservation brief · not acquisition diligenceA house with memory.
An intervention that must know restraint.
San Bernardo 27 is being considered as a possible future home for Por Derecho because its legal and institutional biography is coherent with a mission of memory, traceability, research, training and public conversation. The acquisition has not been completed and this document creates no rights over the property.
Boundary of this document
This brief is not an inspection, survey, valuation, acquisition due diligence, structural report, planning opinion, heritage assessment, services audit, energy certificate, accessibility study, project, budget or works authorisation. It does not confirm title, charges, price, funding, physical condition, development capacity, protection, licences or fitness for use.
It does not authorise entry, measurement, opening-up, sampling, testing, drone use, contact with occupants, appointment or alteration. Every access and action requires the express consent of the legally entitled person and competent professionals.
Biography before programme
Receive a building without erasing its earlier lives
Public research places the house within a family, legal and institutional sequence associated with Canary self-government, legal research, economic and social dialogue and protection of rights in relation to public administration. Each episode must be consolidated through sources and oral history before a definitive narrative.
Family memory
The family and people who knew the house retain the ability to correct identification, chronology and context.
Legible layers
Architectural and institutional stages are documented; a false historical uniformity is not manufactured.
Archive rights
Preservation does not mean automatic publication. Privacy, intellectual property and restrictions are respected.
Intervention principles
Conserve first. Add only what is necessary.
The actual scope can be defined only after acquisition, permissions, professional studies and an approved programme.
Repair before replacement
Identify what can be retained, repaired and maintained. Replacement needs a documented technical, regulatory or functional reason.
Reversible and distinguishable
Contemporary additions should be legible, discreet and, where feasible, reversible without harm to significant material.
Safety and dignified access
Life safety, fire, evacuation, accessibility, health and safe use are conditions of opening, not decoration.
Quiet technology
Data, energy, security, audiovisual systems and AI are integrated with minimal intrusion, segmentation, safe shutdown and no showroom effect.
Climate and resources
Passive comfort, shade, ventilation, water, maintenance and efficiency are studied without sacrificing significance to a generic solution.
Privacy by space
Archive, deliberation, visitors, staff, events and sensitive systems require distinct zones, flows and permissions.
Conceptual programme
Rooms with a clear public purpose
These are possible uses to guide a future conversation with architects, conservation specialists, family, users and authorities. They do not allocate existing rooms or constitute a design.
San Bernardo Archive
The history of the property, its institutions, authorised family material and documentation of the transformation itself.
Legal library
Law, procedure, insolvency, property, public administration, oversight, technology and effective protection.
Traceability Room
Sources, chronologies, competence maps, contradictions and review before hard-to-reverse decisions.
Board Room
Deliberation, conflicts, decisions and minutes; proposed for a body that has not yet been constituted.
Seminar and simulation
Small groups, synthetic cases, professional education and independent review.
Institutional hospitality
Discreet encounters between law, civil society, universities, technology and public service.
Research studio
Small teams, concentration, editing, translation and secure documentation.
Roof or courtyard pause
Rest and conversation only if structure, regulation, neighbours and conservation permit.
Discreet technical core
Network, storage, energy, security and maintenance accessible without invading significant spaces.
Professional sequence
From memory to project, without skipping gates
Each phase has its own authority gate. A favourable result does not automatically authorise the next phase.
Mandate and permissions
Confirm who may authorise access, documentation, studies, publication and appointments.
Archive and oral history
Initial inventory of sources, rights, gaps and questions for family and institutions.
Survey and diagnosis
Architecture, conservation, structure, services, moisture, accessibility, safety and setting by specialists.
Legal and heritage framework
Planning, listing, protection, licences, uses, occupancy, fire, accessibility and other permissions.
Conservation plan
Significance, risks, maintenance, minimum intervention, phases, costs, contingencies and change criteria.
Concept design and consultation
Alternatives, impact, users, operation, safety, sustainability, neighbours and permissions.
Design, works and change archive
Technical documents, procurement, direction, quality control and before-during-after record.
Use, maintenance and review
Building manual, inspection, energy, incidents, accessibility, archive and mission evaluation.
Public institutional layer
Validated biography, conservation principles, authorised programme, publishable sources, documented progress and corrections. It must never inflate acquisition or project status.
Private acquisition and diligence layer
Title, charges, price, funding, contracts, negotiations, condition, reports, risks, insurance and strategy remain separate and are shared only with authority and professional need.
“Receive the house with documentary humility: preserve what we know, mark what we do not know, and do not build a story faster than the evidence.”
