The idea was to extend the surface of the apartments by balconies representing a minimum of 50 percent of the living area with a drastic construction cost of 1350 € per 3.5 square feet.
The project implements objective values where all the constructive and architectural aspects are drafted for their practical value and their economic performance.
The facade serves as an expression of a living place whose alternate sinusoid movements are realized in order to allow an optimal amount of sunlight despite cantilevers up to 10.5 feet of depth.
Therefore, in front of each living room the amplitude of the balcony is maximized and refines the front of the rooms or secondary rooms.
Dwellings are alternated floor by floor in order to never superimpose living rooms. Despite very generous dimensions of balconies, there is no mask effect between apartments.
The unique qualities of the location provide an opportunity to rethink the creation of a link between a landscape and settlement patterns.
