To reduce earth movements in a terrain with several rocky layers, the project proposes an upper building with a 4.20 m cantilever that minimizes the foundations.

The blocks are laid out perpendicular to the coast and the mountainside on which they are built, with their longest façades facing east and west. The building we designed and built is located on one edge of the site and, like the others, was governed by the terraced volume established by regulations for the building outline.
