The building has a ground floor elevated a meter and a half above the urban level and five floors, for a total of 63 lodgings and some commercial spaces in the center of the block.

Despite the limitations of buildings without enough depth, our proposal succeeds in getting a flexible and free organization of the apartments layout, with consequent great benefits in terms of rationalization and use of the spaces.

Three ventilation patios improve in substantial form the space of the the kitchens.

The structure for the walls makes possible the antechambers spaces to become rational and attractive wardrobes.
