The formal design is linked to the desire to provide the building with communal spaces and housing of varying types and relationships. The plan is sectioned four times as the building rises. The height of these sections varies along a longitudinal diagonal. A new circulation system, the ramp, penetrates the building along this theoretical line, linking the four collective spaces from floor to roof, and interacting with the sea to the south. The ramp then extends several times to the north, creating a circular descent at each change of level. The multiple encounters between the ramp and the communal spaces inspire a sportive relationship with space and the building, punctually stimulated by devices interacting with the existing structure. The sequences are fluid and the housing units, though iterative, emphasize the singularity of use through their organization. With a certain degree of abstraction, the indeterminacy of users’ domestic habits then infuses the apartments with hygienic and sportive resolutions corresponding to a multitude of comfortable homes, individual or shared. The project exalts its goals of communal prosperity through a singular relationship between the body and matter, movement and space, the home and the group.
