This project emerges at the core of a communal housing community with spaces for recreation that enhance coexistence between its members and with nature. The strategy seeks to blur the limits between inside and outside. Long roofs overlay over open spaces, to provide cover but not confinement. The structure conserves apparent concrete slabs and steel pillar grids that made our design principle of limpid spaces possible. The site’s centenary trees and vegetation will pair with the built materiality and cause the perception that the building stems from the leaves and hovers around them.
