This creates a space for central pedestrian access to the homes, which can be used by the condominium's inhabitants.

Two types of residences were designed. One with 4.15 m wide bays and the other with 5 m wide bays, all with 5 habitable floors.

The basement level, which can be accessed from the parking lot, also has a multipurpose area.

The common spaces and the patio are on the first level, the bedrooms on the second and third levels, and on the fourth level the rooftop terrace is located.

To manage the privacy and views of the central collective space, two aspects were considered.

The first was to nook the bedrooms facing this area, making it able to generate a game of volumes and shadows, which allows the extension of the views.

The second was through vegetation. On the first level, plant containers were designed to create a veil towards the kitchens and hold the water and gas meters.
