How can we go beyond the traditional perimeter block but still stay within the letter of the building code?
By inflating a block of apartments to the limit of the maximum urban volume, we generate a cathedral like architecture of sloping roofs and spires. Too deep to be inhabited, the prismatic volume contains a public cavity –the courtyard as a collective living room. The volume is deformed as to liberate spaces for plazas at both sides and slanted in order to let light flow unimpeded to the neighbouring buildings. A tilted ramp leads from the inside out transforming itself into a street corridor with public accessibility.
