Overview

The building provides a contemporary innovative take on modern living. Each apartment is unique in its shape and appearance due to the widows breaking the facades with their different shapes and appearances. The dark facade covers the light insight of the building. Inside and outside are connected through a outside staircase connecting the different levels of the apartment with an elevator on its interior. Two uncovered patios organize additionally the distribution of the public and private space. The houses overlook both to the main façade with glass covered balconies and to the back with small open ones. The stone facade additionally references to the materials used in the mountains of the region.
