The project is a three-storey residential building containing 7 apartments. Located on an 841 m² plot in Fiyegnon I Fidjrossè, the building is divided into two blocks joined by a central link, optimising natural ventilation and creating a strong visual identity. Changes in level, including a semi-basement for technical rooms, and the range of apartment types (two-bedroom duplexes, single-level two-bedroom apartments, east-west-facing three-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom apartments with terraces) respond to different needs and uses.

The main entrance leads to an open entrance hall with a leafy courtyard and an elegant staircase, providing easy access to the upper floors. The duplex apartments have a private entrance with a courtyard and garage, while the other units have separate access. Living spaces are designed to optimise natural ventilation and daylight, with generous openings and terraces facing the winds and the sea. Materials such as terracotta bricks, beige and white render, brown ochre metal and Bali stone tiles ensure thermal comfort and a harmonious appearance.
