We were invited to this competition which is one of the major social housing competition for years. Five sites, five times five studios. As this competition aims to be a flagship for social interventions in the district, we created a compact mass, with an opened up interior system and an iconic typology. As an analysis of the word social, the house is reduced to a livable compromise: building and operational costs to minimum, spatial qualities and flexibility to maximum.
