Intended to mirror the housing adjacent to the south, preserving the original axis of symmetry.

The idea was to define the core element composed of the staircase and fireplace.

Around which is the structured set of the three floor levels, uneven and "carved" in order to adapt to altimetry from both sides of the street.
