The design process began with a series of ambitions: a small and flexible structure placed in the forest, open facades with direct connection to nature, a pool as a lake, and a writing desk facing the evening sun.

Their respective forms create a variety of apartment sizes, arrangements of rooms and orientations of openings. At the north edge of the site the buildings continue the line of the street and each building is entered via a s
