147 apartments and some offices extruded into a prototype block that is then folded to create a U-shaped court fronting onto canal, an axial route and a park. The extrusion is cut away at ground to allow glimpses into a leafy communal courtyard. Each apartment has an outdoor room part hung part cantilevered out over the streets. The building’s facade is composed of layers of roughly sawn larch that makes reference to the warehouses of packing crates that once occupied this site.
