The site for the building is located between party walls and fully inserted in the urban grid. It has confronting facades to two streets with a slope of more than 10 meters between them. The project is composed of three houses to be designed into nine levels. We have maximized the existing ground with a program based on three bedroom houses that is far from a conventional design. We’ve divided the house stories into two levels separated half way to introduce some variation into the use of a limited space.
