An eight-storey, north-facing corner building with an attic, adapted to
the characteristics of a small site. 30% of the built-up area is given
over to commercial establishments, and the rest to 75m2 rent-controlled
apartments. The rear patio provides the staircase and the bedrooms of
the side apartments with light and ventilation. The central apartment,
with all openings overlooking the street and views over the two side
streets, is closed off on the north side, while light enters from the
east and west. One of the two attic apartments is a triplex and features
landscaped terraces and a swimming pool. Despite the tight budget and
total lack of industrial building resources, both the facade and
apartment interiors are beautifully designed. The building won the FAD
Architecture Award in 1966.
