A residential building widely opened to the city. This building is designed to be perfectly integrated in its surroundings.
Each floor was conceived as a fragment of a city in which:
-The rooms, grouped in clusters of 2,3 or 5 units, would be like the city blocks
-The circulations would represent the streets

-The communal spaces overlook the urban landscape, the canal or the gardens and trees around.
