The plot occupies an elevated position, has a good orientation and remarkable views of the mountains and the city. But the geometry of its perimeter and the abrupt topography could be considered real design challenges. The urban structure is characterised by single-family houses and farm buildings, naturally placed and spread across the landscape. It is possible to think of higher density typologies, as long as they take into account these criteria of integration into the given structure.

This interpretation of transition-places, in-between rooms, interiors that merge with the outdoors, and that...
