Called V36K08/09, the zinc-clad building comprises two separate dwellings for a mother and son, each with its own patio.

A wooden gate encloses leads directly onto a patio, which acts as the entrance area for the house.

The following information is from the architects:
V36K08/09 – URBAN DIVA

The dark pre-patinated zinc façade with its subtle disposition of seams gives the building a calm but yet spectacular appearance.

Looking from the outside, the house appears rather compact and closed – a fortress in the urban tissue.

Only by entering the estate through the heavy wooden gate, one gets into an utterly different inner world – an oasis of tranquillity, a living space that is generous and open, where inside and outside merge into each other.
