Roof and south façade section
concept and strategies: west façade
Allow vegetation to climb the building above the balconies
Qualify balconies and provide horizontal connectivity
concept and strategies: south façade
South façade elevation

4
Take advantage of the south façade to implement a more complex environment, biotically and abiotically, isolated from the human impact
Connect all surfaces through horizontal light structures
concept and strategies: east façade
Connect the building vertically without creating excessive shading
Expand the area of balconies, creating a greater area of integration between human spaces and green spaces
