From an architectural point of view, the project is a reflection on the theme of space flexibility. We decided to work on a simple, elementary volume to which we juxtaposed the vertical circulation, in order to provide the ability of easily adapting to the users evolving needs.

We have translated this strategy by opting for a simple construction system, a concrete slab-column structure that determines free open floors.

From a functional point of view, we have stressed the mixing of uses by opting for a tripartite scheme consisting of a base where a portico interacts with the surrounding urban context, intermediate flexibles floors topped by three lofts that benefit of a generous private garden.
