The compact plot sits within a dense piece of urban fabric, surrounded on all sides by neighbouring houses. Its shape is skewed. The project begins with the challenge of inscribing a house into this distorted figure. The longest wall of the plot becomes the guide. From it, a set of geometric rules gradually unfolds, quietly organising the plan.
Within a confined volume, the project explores the vertical dimension. A continuous circulation space develops along the guiding wall, linking the different levels of the house. Two staircases of distinct character lead towards the rooftop. An Ellsworth Kelly–like cut opens a double-height void above the living area. Three columns of different sections — one round, one hexagonal, and one square — emphasise the vertical movement through the house. The ground floor absorbs the secondary programmes, while the main living space occupies the first floor. There, a single room stretches uninterrupted between two large windows. Inside this empty field, a precise constellation of elements appears: a triangular kitchen, a striped floor, a solitary column, a cut in the ceiling, and a sequence of peculiar handrails. Whimsical furniture disperses itself through the dense interior composition.
Towards the street, the façade wears stripes of black and white marble. The large window appears as a cut within the pattern. It is almost too large for the house, concealing the division between two floors: the openings are stacked and merged into a single figure. A pink circle, a yellow triangle, and a green square operate simultaneously as handle, handrail, and shutter. At the opposite end, the narrow back façade follows the same logic. Two windows sit beneath a striped cornice. In front of them, a half-circle handrail hovers, giving the elevation the faint impression of a mischievous grimace.
