The building expresses the nature of the simple intervention in the building. The idea of elegance as a contribution to an idea of a city. The counterpoint with the mechanical composition and undifferentiated on the one hand and the noisy expressionist exaggeration on the other. Intervention is the choice between what to add and what to remove.
At the entrance the option to remove and clean the mess of stairs, gaps, guards, pillars and visors, creates a spacious and bright space. The valuation of a central store window, high. Pedestrian access to the building on one side and vehicle access on the other.
In residential floors, the addition of elements that simultaneously help to solve functional issues (sun protection, air conditioning equipment, flower boxes) and to create a façade unit. Establish a layered image that reinforces the image and volume of the entrance.
