The urban block surrounding this project is a combination of buildings from different periods and with different purposes, an example of 19th and 20th-century mixed industrial and residential fabric. The new building responds to this by offering 12 flats with a variety of plan types from 35 to 85 sq.m., for people in different phases of life, which also gives an efficient use of the available site.

All flats have a south-facing balcony of minimum 6 sq.m., most are dual aspect and the top flats have private roof terraces. Service cores are in the centre of each flat.
