The precious inner stone is represented through the building’s gleaming glass panes and polished metal paneling, which allows for the public spaces to glimmer in sunlight. The amethyst’s mineral crust is represented by a coarse textured wall that protects the private spaces and allows for a dichotomy of space and plan. The resulting shape is an irregular polygon that holds within itself an elegant convergence of two elemental forms.

In addition to the North and South gardens, communal spaces are multiplying on the terraces. These act as social condenser, allowing the inhabitants to exploit, not only the surroundings of the buildings, but also to enjoy a breathtaking view. A height game on the different levels creates a succession of private terraces, collective or photovoltaic panels, punctuating the community life between the inhabitants and creating an intriguing volumetric game that is softened by the vegetation of the roofs. The wood cladding treatment of the facades seeks to reproduce the warm look of the materials while promoting a residential and resolutely urban image. In this project, neighbors meet each other, feast and live together, while keeping the necessary privacy of housing.
