Spaces for shops, offices and residences constitute the functions of the building, located near the city of Tripoli. Like in a Rubik’s cube, the spatial volumes that make it up are translated or shifted one over the other and this results in façades that are separated in floors of different depths that can establish, in the interstices, practical loggias. The external facing in decorated ceramic and the alternation of transparent and opaque surfaces negate a context that is lacking in any historical or social value. The inward-facing residential units on the top two floors are spread around patios.
