Description
The neighbourhood combines residential and industrial buildings. A new transport hub is being built nearby. The residential building was designed within the footprint of the former factory, whilst adhering to the imposed constraints. The tension between domesticity and industrial scale guides the project. The building measures 10x39x8m, with three open façades. It is divided into almost identical flats, facing a south-facing garden. The repetition is broken up by spatial variations: high ceilings, curves, rotations, imperfections. Simple materials clad the façades. To the south, there are industrial references; the end façades are abstract. From the motorway, one catches a glimpse of a cat: domestic, yet wild.
