Architecture
This is from a book on "architecture without architects". I originally translated it last November, and now the author has made some changes in the original prior to it being published.
The author originally used the word "muro" twice, but changed one to "pared" and the other to "paramento". I need to make the distinction between the two in English; "wall" will do for "pared", but I am at a loss about how to translate "paramento" in order to reflect the distinction the author obviously wants to make.
"...se persuadió de que su casa, salvo las habitaciones en las que vivía su familia, no era una verdadera casa sino unas cuantas habitaciones enhebradas.
Como remedio, se le ocurrió unir la habitación de los barriles y el establo de las bestias con un muro de treinta centímetros de espesor y tres de altura. Lo cubrió con azulejos amarillos y unió el establo y la *pared* exterior de la casa con un *paramento" del mismo grosor y tres metros de altura, en semicírculo, que contenía, en la parte central, la cisterna. Cubrió este muro de azulejos verdes.
Hizo lo mismo en el otro lado."

Proposed translations

additional/new wall (or extension)
The writer refers to it as a wall further on, and as it is not a partition, I'd suggest using one of these terms that indicates new construction.

plumb wall
A “plumb wall” in architecture is a wall that is exactly ninety degrees

outer wall
Another option; this way you could distinguish between "inner wall" (pared) and "outer wall" as required.

: I will go with "outer wall" for pared exterior and "parapet" for paramento.
