The main goal of the project was to create a building integrate in the urban context and providing the construction of public space visually connecting the city and the park.
This permeability offers a qualified collective space that continues towards the park leading to the lower part of the territory. Therefore the building connects the different levels of the landscape.
The ground floor includes the entrances to the five housing blocks. This spaces look like metallic grid “boxes” with irregular shapes. The structure of the building on the ground floor consists in spread columns with geometrical shapes according to the formal language of the “boxes”. These light elements give the illusion that the building is floating.
