Telescopic houses, inscribed within each other. We find a dialogue to formalize the tensions encountered: between lines and thickness (those provided by the misalignment between alignment and party walls); between interior gazes and external tangencies. This allows us to draw a vertical sequence of breaks, planes where light slips, and more expressive shadows throughout the day. We turn the interior facades into a changing game.
The twelve houses and their courtyards have been designed according to sustainable criteria applied to the following actions: constructive optimization of the building, limitation of energy demand, use of passive systems in the facade, harnessing solar energy, collection, and purification of water from baths and kitchens for garden irrigation.
