The structural modulation allows, in addition to its cost efficiency, wide spaces with a lot of light and ventilation.
- Research

Thus, it was granted the model under development could be inserted in the coast of Santa Catarina (Brazil) without losing the places characteristics.
- Inspiration
- Inspired in New York City, the project holds as a differential the dwelling concepts based on New York studios and lofts, which arose as means to reutilize the warehouses and factories during the post war period (the 1960s and 1970s decades).
