All private and service areas — bedrooms, bathroom and laundry — are located at ground level. These spaces are further guarded visually by unfinished wood-plank fences, providing a subtle contrast with the solid, white volumetric elements of the apartments.
On this "foundation" rests a top floor with sloping roof, descending to the south, resulting in a terrace that develops along the whole façade. On this floor are the social areas — living room, dining room and kitchen —, taking advantage of the exposure, views, and the terraced outdoor area, sheltered from the prevailing northern winds by the construction itself.
This site-specific and environmentally-tuned architecture not only provides energy efficiency, but also turns site challenges into opportunity, by maximizing privacy and views simultaneously.
