This project is included inside an urban recovery intervention involving a 19th century textile factory. In 2012, the main atrium of this complex will form part of a network of municipal cultural centres, placed in former industrial buildings. The resulting complex will then be a hybrid block of public service buildings, public space and residential use. This use is concentrated in a 19th century atrium which will be completely emptied to then build 80 housing units for young people. The repetitive nature that the housing program imposes makes common spaces the focus. These spaces are visually connected in a diagonal fashion from the ground floor vestibule to the trusses of the roof.
