to dwell
is a proposal for a residential building in geneva. The
volume is marked at the ends by two bow-windows that
mark its expression along the garden street, these, when
facing the street, through their figurative character, mark
the beginning and the end of the volume. The relationship
with the street is encouraged by three external staircases,
which expose the circulation of the building to the city
users in a narrative that recalls the film Mon Oncle by
Jacques Tati. The flats are all transversal, offering better
conditions of ventilation and illumination. Between the
living room and the master bedroom, a loose wall
accentuates the possibility of circulation in the flat
creating a feeling of greater generosity
