The project was born very much linked to the site, which presents a strong topography. The situation of the houses in a place where the population is blurred constitutes an opportunity to define the limits in the area. The proposal takes on these conditions and establishes a series of dwellings that build a porous limit, of dwellings that, supported by the strong topography of the terrain, hollow out and pray through courtyards and walkways. The dwelling extends towards the shorter side of the plot, creating a A platform that provides a common space, an ambiguous place between the public and the private, which allows for the free movement of the party wall. This creates a green backdrop in which life in common is possible, from which all the views of the population are dominated.
