The Belvédère Saint-Christophe is part of the postmodern movement, which contrasts the modernist desire for formal innovation based on the oblivion of tradition, and reintroduces classical composition and ornament, in a relationship to history that oscillates between the tribute and the pastiche.
Inside the building, each house has a double orientation, which allows to optimize the solar radiation and natural ventilation of the rooms and offers different views of the surrounding landscape.
