The project is composed of 24 dwellings built in 3 levels, with 6 different typologies, a series of patios, and multiple-use spaces. The building is located in two sites that form an “L” shape plot as they join at the back and have two perpendicular fronts towards the street. This disposition, with two narrow fronts and two large, slender bodies that are joined at the back, gave way to a project with a series of patios and open corridors that link the different apartments.
