Abstract: The dwellings designed by Antonio Bonet Castellana (1913-1989) in 1967 for the village of Hifrensa (L'Hospitalet de l'Infant, Tarragona) are an example of the systematization of urban structures. Bonet tried out different transformations of a basic module to generate multiple developments, all with the idea of city development in mind. To address the current growth of the village, the present study describes the replication of the dwelling module for experts in Hifrensa, adapting it to the current regulations. Given the precarious state of preservation of the original dwellings, the new module, made up of four dwellings, once again displays elements from the original project that have since been lost, such as forms, proportions, materials and finishes. The study describes many details regarding the design and construction of the module, reveals the difficulties and technical solutions adopted during the process and warns about the vulnerability of modern architecture heritage.
