By using the typical layout of the existing council houses in the area, it blends harmoniously with the natural environment. It keeps its performance and its functionality in a contemporary way.

Designed as an evergreen garden, it gives breath to the internal rooms overlooking at it. The building is organized over three floors. Using the classic technology of concrete and brick buildings for the ground floor, the other levels have a wood structure and pre-fabricated panels. A second layer of wooden plates covers the whole building and acts as a “brise soleil”. It partially hides and lightens up the “monolithic” volume.
