Remodels sometimes hurt, but they are voluntary, usually done out of love. For this reason, when joining two Big Houses, remodeling is necessary so that there is interconnection, communication and access, which offers the possibility that the other person can no longer only enter with the support of his hand through one of the windows, but to stay permanently, and thus be able to get to know the Casa Grande more intimately. "So there are no longer two, but a single Big House", because love leads to a reorganization of the psychic structure of the House in each of the spouses.

 

At the level of the operation of the Big House, it expands to include in a certain way the other Big House, ideally, the other Big House becomes an alternate House, whose desires, needs and well-being are considered on a par with their own. On the other hand, the directives of the Big House also change in part to accommodate the norms of the other Big House. In the same way, the expression of the unconscious impulses of the Big House is altered as a consequence of its modification. Changes in life produce rearrangements, readjustments, and new searches for meaning. Gabo pointed out that “Human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them; Life forces them to be reborn over and over again. " People's life usually takes place in a House, which becomes the symbol of memories and nostalgia. But we almost never realize that the House has a life, and that in the same way we are in constant adaptation and resignification. Especially in these days of property appreciation. Do not forget, that people change our address, but not our House, we always carry it with us, like snails. This is our secret place, our affective niche, our safe haven. Where we are as we have always seen ourselves, despite the changes. There the mirror does not lie, and even if you do not want to look in it, you know that it is there, that it can illuminate you and take away what is not yours.
