Vertical stratigraphy. A suspended case.
The “twin” building of the one on the opposite crossroads completes the orthogonal layout of the neighbourhood.
The building is designed along the lines of a “closed block” developing in the form of a “set of drawers”.
The monolithic structure has been broken down into different levels according to different functions.
The design of the square derives from a desire to generate a “sheltered” communal space: the presence of landscaping and natural paving help create an intimate and homely setting.
