A fifth structure is added to a prominent ensemble of four post-war residential blocks. Identical in scale, it isn’t placed alongside, but spans all four as a single-storey rooftop extension. Elevating the paradigm of urban densification, the project goes beyond mere expansion: it unites the separate buildings via a shared elevator, an access gallery, and a carpet of roof gardens, forging a new interconnected neighbourhood. A novel typology of urban extension.
