Wood, comfortable material, is the material used for detail the structure, elasticity and of its resistance to the efforts the chemicals in the air, is the best source to create the healthiest environment conditions for the man.

External walls of only 32 cm make, sturdy construction, guarantee a thermal-acoustic insulation unreachable with conventional construction systems with reduced thickness.

Wood is the material of “sunblind ” has different functions,: camouflages the downpipes, hides the vertical frames, becomes Pergola, climbing essences hosts, creates a union between the built and the green. Green portals form indicating symbolic “transition between nature and the built”.

Where is the main entrance of the community form a skylight, which helps to remember the shape of “Home”.

Another characteristic element is the glass on-non-matter, which does not split out from inside. The light predominates and leads throughout the day: the same rhythms of nature controls biological rhythms and rhythms of activity.

The mural decoration on the wall of the cylindrical elevator in the Community, represents the symbolic location of the spirit who has access to and undertakes a path of growth.

Green scenery outside the olfactive perception: as important as the Visual one.

Internally, almost dynamic harmonic curves, creating personal environments for a cozy space.

The bathrooms are decorated with nature-inspired parties, to create exclusive environments, a source of pride for the guys who live inside the structure.
