An open block presents a low volume and a tower connected by a bioclimatic atrium thanks to which all the apartment units, meant to be rented out, face two directions.
The artisanal bricks baked with biomass provide inertia to the inner void – which acts as a collector or a solar chimney, depending on the season – and are bonded to form lattices airing the dwellings.
The ten-meter bay results in a flexible floor plan that offers three different types of accommodations, in accordance with how the bedrooms are distributed, but all of them have the benefit of a small outdoor space.
