The building creates organically peoples nest burrows combining ”grapevine” inside the wall of concrete block of flats. People can occupy safe spots there and build their own nest in it. Small apartment community is strong and contrast visually, but functionally it is like a gentle hand shake. In addition to new apartments it offers pleasant common rooms for the old habitants: on the ground floor there is a setted summer kitchen and some new garden functions, the way up to the roof is a half-warm green house, where you can find parlours for everyone and on the roof top there is a beautiful sceneric festifal room, which can be entranced also via the old strairwell.
