This conceptual student housing questions the notion of horizontal and vertical radicality. The facade walls project vertically into the sky and from them, horizontal blocks of program develop over almost the entire depth of the site.

Access to the building is vertical via elevators that back onto these portions of the walls. Only the staircases, emergency exits, are placed in the gaps between the horizontal blocks of the living space. These stairs break with the two-dimensional radicality (horizontal and vertical) of this ensemble.
The parvis, totally unobstructed, allows the façade to breathe, the students to meet before separating to go about their business. It also encourages the inhabitants to venture inside the rifts.

The small garden, below, hosts exhibitions of young sculptors. It is also accessible by stairs not visible from the street, in one of the faults between two sections of wall.
