The building of 47 social housing units consisting of basement, ground floor and five upper floors is conceived as a shallow and continuous perimeter of courtyard flats. This configuration creates a central space in the form of a collective and bioclimatic atrium, which becomes a reception and meeting space for the inhabitants of the building. At the same time, it becomes a mechanism that provides high energy efficiency to the complex.
