75 accommodations are spread over two buildings, which are implanted on both sides of an alleyway that connects an islet core’s dead-end and a street following the railway tracks on the path below. A medical centre occupies the ground floor of the building facing a retirement house, reinforcing the medical prevalence of the district. A restaurant is installed on the corner opposite and benefits from this new public space.

The complementarity between stone and cast on site concrete elements propels the building into a future where the sectors’ coexistence becomes the condition of a new balance of the construction’s material mix.
