This brings character and also toughness to the task while working as an independent aspect for creating the whole boundary and also separating wall surfaces of the core location,’ keep in mind the engineers.

The entrance location is an entrance hall and also multi-purpose space identified by its extra nature, as it needs to be versatile for several usages. At the back, the beginning of the solution core arises, constructed making use of cinder block, tiling, and also MDF. Left wing, a bench looks like a constant aspect that goes through the yard and also modifications features according per location. The main core, delimited by the high cinder block wall surfaces that develop a solid, strong volumetry, hosts 2 big paths that work as a type of antechamber.
