The plot, an island located in the southwest archipelago, inspires with its precious and sensitive nature, it’s exposed cliffs and wild vegetation. Determined to lose as little as possible, the building volume is carefully divided into a series of dwellings propped on stilts along a trail, bridged together with terraces. The building is more a weaving wall reaching across the site, embracing and drawing the landscape into itself.
