A structure with a simple, clean and easily identifiable geometry made of wood
A building on the ground floor 5 metres wide and 20 metres long with massive lava stone sack walls stands on a core of sciara shaped flush with the perimeter, a remnant of the massive buildings of the 1970s
Only two diagonal glimpses, northeast to the neighbourhood gardens, southwest to a cross-section of the city
A wooden prism " gabled" is placed on the lava fragment of the house, rotated by 6 degrees and carved on the volume below
The newly constructed building is a wooden structure deeply carved by two balconies on the diagonal of the slits: a gem set among the heroic arches of the tall buildings
