William is a residential building that respects its context. The project is conceived as a monochrome insertion that blends with its surroundings down to the smallest detail. Its materials and regular grid create a dialogue with the surrounding industrial buildings. At the same time, the increase in the size of the openings is a reinterpretation of the vertical treatments of period buildings in the area. The treatment of lintels, spandrels and cornices characteristic of the area is taken up by a variety of masonry matches and reliefs. The L-shaped layout creates a planted inner courtyard, contrasting with the distinctly contemporary treatment. Overall, the project offers a timeless envelope that harmonizes with the neighborhood around a luminous interior core.
