To characterize the intervention was also the shape of the site, a plot of 900 sqm long and narrow which led the architects of Sharon Neuman to draw up a very strict plan.

At the center of the main space they designed a multifunctional element that is used on the one hand to shield the stairs leading to the basement and on the other to hide a small study room. In the living room, the blue doors of what looks like a simple cabinet once opened reveal a desk, two chairs and a set of shelves. Maybe a little claustrophobic but no doubt mess-proof.
