Instead of forming a typical segregated cluster of residences, the units are independent yet part of a continuous system without a clear separation between public and private areas. The different levels guarantee privacy and allow diverse views on the surrounding landscape, enhancing the relation with the context.
The southern part of the lot, where building is not allowed, is completely green. The trees are gathered in groups, forming areas of different density. Along contour levels two big vegetable gardens have been placed; each resident has his own portion combined with a small shed. They are connected to one of the secondary paths and consequently integrated into the circulation system and the public activities of the area.
