The project is visible as a large, powerful form, clearly identifiable within the area. Its positioning at a distance from the community hall opens up a viewing window onto the panorama of the Alps. The new building’s form results from a simple urban operation: the "compression" of a 100m long apartment block to liberate a high quality public space - the esplanade - next to the community hall.

This "folding" operation has three positive consequences. First, the public esplanade acquires a status worthy of its name, with its generous size and a clear view of the Mont Blanc. Second, the land between the building and the Route de Meinier becomes an outdoor space of genuine quality due to the elevational folding, which forms a series of "semi-public pockets". Lastly, the apartment block offers a maximum number of facades aligned towards the mountains. Each apartment benefits directly from the exceptional panorama, not from a merely frontal view, but from a subtle relationship of angled outlooks, all of which vary according to the chosen apartment.

The building’s actual construction plan is very simple and rational. Two groups of three contiguous volumes, each rotated at 45º, are assembled and "welded" together to form a single, perfectly balanced volume orientated towards the landscape.

The typology of the dwellings was the starting point for the thinking behind this project. The search for a range of types, all with specific spatial qualities, led to the development of a large system of eight assembled apartments. The distinctiveness of these apartments stems from the exact positioning of the dividing walls between them. They are in fact separated in such a way that five different and high quality dwelling types emerge.
