Description
The building has a formal geometric volume which dramatizes the intersection of a cylinder and a cube. The plan is divided into quarter circles for four apartments on each floor (three units on ground floor). Residual spaces between the cylinder and the cube become dining bays or terraces. A housing strategy without reference to points of the compass. In the upper level of the maisonette, a hallway leads between wall closets to a small gallery with a view to the dining bay in the corner of the building below.
