From the Architect: "This rear backyard house is built with materials reused from the dismantling of a warehouse that was on the plot (brick, steel structures, floor plates, etc.) The dwelling extends over a length of 72 feet. A series of walls, repetitively punctured, define the various spaces. The house is a succession of rooms divided by two patios. The central double-height space contains the vertical circulation of the house. The materiality of the project arises from the difficulty of accessing the construction site with particular attention to the reuse of materials on-site and off, as well as the use of natural materials such as insulation and coatings."
