We propose 5 volumes resulting from cutting the triangular plot with 3 passages following exactly the north-south orientation. Therefore, instead of having homes in the south and north, we have developed a proposal with 4 corner apartments per block, whose facades have the four orientations, very good cross ventilation and morning sunlight in all dwellings. We avoid a 92 meters continuous facade: the block materializes or dematerializes depending on the position of the observer.
