On one hand, the staircase hangs up from the roof by tubes and metal sheet, retrieved from dismantled oil tanks, to which metal made steps are soldered, and which is covered with concrete using the remains of short steel bars left over from building work
On the other hand, regarding the façade, we experiment with a system of lamellas constructed with galvanized water pipes and wood.
The lamellas can be moved in order to control the sunlight and the views. The building, set on a corner, is separated from the near walls by a different sections patio which provides ventilation, natural light and acoustic comfort.
