Located in the neighborhood of Koum Kapi, an area with mostly small plots and low-rise buildings, one of the main goals was to break down the building by introducing geometric volumes. The building consists of two orthogonal shaped volumes, gray and white, separated by the central stairwell, with four levels and a Pilotis with a total of 7 apartments. The gray volume sitting at the center, reaches the maximum height, while the white one, facing west, offers spacious balconies and intrusions for protection from the sun and the prevailing winds during winter. The Pilotis accommodates the lobby and two parking spaces, and provides access to the backyard. At the main entrance, the vegetation extends into the building in order to increase the planted area of the plot.
