addressing the multi-family residential program, this approximately 2,120 m² volume relies on transitional threshold zones to structure internal movement. While circulation routes are necessary, the implemented design strategy introduces a calibrated porosity, sheltering resident privacy while ensuring optimal daylighting and natural ventilation, both essential for communal well-being

nightzhift the collapse of labor intimacy; total visual permeability the concept of the 'glass box' during night shifts proves counterproductive. it exposes the worker to an exhibitionistic activity before a bustling city. total transparency makes no distinctions: it lays bare the clutter of the desktop, the fatigue, and the untimely monotony. in the pursuit of an intricate and singular space, what is required is the articulation of shadows and boundaries, not constant exposure

have u ever felt stranded at 4am, the only awake on ur social net...? where this place is meant for you at that precise timeline, when you feel living in a distorted reality where nothing fits but... it will, eventually. once the sun rises and world goes back as you once knew it. this building has been designed to help you deal with the forever longing hours until sun rises...

The narrow streets are dark and unsafe, with little ground-floor activity and no connection to quality public spaces or green areas.

(1/3) THE INCREMENTAL CITY

while its concrete joints cause water infiltration into façades.

The old town is a city of corners and nooks, where façade recesses generate a habitable topography that becomes a network of temporary micro-spaces,

continuously reinterpreted by people’s gestures, detours, and ephemeral appropriations.

tactical architecture for the practice of everyday life general axonometric

In response to the architectural character and heritage value revealed in the site mapping, the intervention unfolds as a system of tactical, context -sensitive, situated

operations (habitable prototypes) that attach to the pre-existing fabric and are conceived as a catalog of replicable solutions on a larger scale. The aim is not to impose a new image, but to add a contemporary layer that dialogues with heritage, reactivates uses, and supports new modes of inhabitation. new courtyard façade

Façade recesses are activated through tactical gestures that create micro-meeting

spaces, amplifying existing dynamics and fostering spontaneous, anarchic interactions and appropriations of the urban space.
