The site is divided by a retaining wall. Taking advantage of the fact that the building is built on the boundary of the retaining wall and that the retaining wall needed to be reinforced, two areas of the site are excavated and two volumes are placed there. The aim of the building was to connect the surrounding environment of the road and fields with the difference in elevation, and to create a continuity of the local community.
