The collective housing project consists of two apartment blocks of different types, connected to each other by outside hallways as circulation paths. Patios, balconies and terraces with vegetation are interspersed. At the back of the lot, a three-level parking structure replicate the area they occupy on their green terraces.

All units have cross ventilation and a fifth of its surface area corresponds to balcony area, designed as a transition interval, as permanent space residents could enjoy and also as a strategy for thermal and acoustic comfort. The railings give identity to the facades through their materialization in a double concrete beam that hold pots with plants. In this project there is an intention to provoke a paradigm shift by considering the vegetation as the main asset of the building and a crucial element of the project composition. The concept of “ecosystem services” is thus integrated into the sustainability of the building-city interrelationships through the incorporation of native species that attract insects, butterflies and birds in the landscape design.

The building was built using materials accessible to local labor. Exposed concrete and common bricks have decent aging and require very little maintenance. There is an attempt to a noble integration the building into the urban landscape over the course of time.
