Poject Details
Conceived as an urban aerie, the inside becomes an extension of the outside and vice-versa. The city is visually invited into the space through large windows and sliding doors. The interiors were intended to be simple and strong, mimicking the pattern of the city’s streets and buildings. Lush vegetation spills out of the terrace, connecting the apartment to the city with its fingers of trees and vines.
