Housing complex situated in downtown, over the main road along the coast and only 500 m. from the beach. The group leaves the ground floor level for commercial and retail use, while the second floor apartments are converted into duplex, to occupy the housing modules, thus appropriating the terraces on the roof and generate crossed views and light through the top roof apartment. The facade is sheathed in pale stone and is offered as a smooth skin, stretched at the corners. The project intends to pass unnoticed among both building tacky. It often happens that the best way to be heard between lots of people crying is not raising the voice.
