About

This project develops from the previous urban project called La Ville Reve. The goal was to design a residential complex chosen among the buildings generated from the previous phase. As the chosen part of the masterplan was characterized by the compression and decompression of the urban mesh, the project idea was to try to incorporate all the forces that generated the mesh, by adding and modeling volumes. The result is a combination of multiple strips that wrap one front of the building in an unconventional way and generating a versatile façade. On the other hand, the opposite front results as neat as possible: the clean line of each storage is outlined by the detail of the staircase that is developed around a void of light.
