The project,located in new Zona 167 district, aims to fuse the urban macroscale with the domestic dimension, within a larger project to revitalize the neighbourhood. The complex, which has 40 residential units, underground car parks and a ground floor for commercial activities, looks like a C-shaped monolith, spanning a height of 6 floors and a total area of over 5000 sqm. The regularity of the elevations represents the main building character: the uniform dark grey brick curtain becomes a sort of neutral score where dynamic rhythm are delivered by protuding, niche white metal sheet elements.
