TWO SHIELDS

Apartment building. They have to deal with the structure and the nearby road. To complete the square and back it up. Stand firm around the courtyard, but at the same time not overwhelm it. It has to be a place where people feel at home. Even if a few metres below it, cars are rolling down it at 70mph. The shape comes from the intersection that runs under the house. A conservatory runs along the entire south-eastern façade, which is in close contact with the edge of the platform. It thus partly acts as a noise barrier, partly increases the interior spaces. Throughout the volume, I try to leave the middle tract for the service core. I divide the house into two parts - family housing and cluster housing. With smaller private units, people can enjoy generous common living spaces.
