The building is organized by a clear system of load-bearing walls, strategically interrupted by carved light courts. The structural grid is aligned along the angle bisector of the corner site, avoiding the hierarchical organization of individual spaces and instead establishing an equitable distribution of spatial qualities. Deep residential units are integrated within this framework and receive daylight from both the street façade and the internal courtyards. These courtyards link the individual dwellings into small neighbourhood clusters, while vertical visual connections throughout the building further reinforce social interaction and collective identity.
The prominent corner condition is further emphasized through an integrated artwork. A pilaster divides the entrance portal and marks the angle bisector of the site. Metal panels mounted above recall the former Church of the Holy Trinity, which once occupied this location. The intervention embeds the site's historical layers within the new architecture, transforming the building into both a contemporary urban landmark and a carrier of collective memory.
