Text description provided by the architects. The apartment building is located between two architectonic references in the city. At one side the Parnaso building (1954), a reference of modern architecture, on the other the House of Music (Rem Koolhaas), built almost 50 years later. At the place of an old house a saw tooth silhouette emerges with an irregular pattern sequence of skylights.
