The project
The brief asked for fast, low-cost construction that could change over time. A ground floor of prefabricated slabs and panels houses services open to the street, and can be divided or left as one open space.
Above it sit six 45 square metre homes built from Gomos units, each reached by its own entrance on the slope. The space between them uses the area the planning limits left unbuilt.
