Arranged through a central atrium with stairways and walkways, each floor receives two apartments, one facing the street and another facing the garden.

The kitchen and service areas open to the atrium, thus ensuring ventilation and natural lighting.

The apartment also maintains this spatial relationship of continuity, the facade of the street is full of transparent glass.

Wooden brises and curtains allow movement to the facade, give privacy and adapt to various moments of inhabiting.

The life of the building and the city are connected through this closer relation created by the architecture, the result is a gentler building to the city.

The structure in reinforced concrete and masonry is unique. A prefabricated slab panel system, which functions similarly to a slab, allows the absence of beams in the front and rear edge, which makes the facade visually lighter.
