Description
The neighborhood combines residential and industrial buildings. A new transport hub has sprung up nearby. The residential building was designed within the volume of the old factory, respecting the imposed limits. The tension between domesticity and industrial scale guides the project. The building measures 10x39x8m, with three open façades. It is divided into almost similar apartments, facing a garden to the south. The repetition is broken up by spatial variations: high ceilings, curves, rotations, imperfections. Simple materials clad the façades. To the south, there are industrial allusions, the top façades are abstract. From the highway, you can see a cat: domestic, but wild. (fala)
