This community of 11 families had traditionally been working in the exploitation of native forests and in basic agriculture tilling, achieving only a survival status of life. Due to the low income-yield capacity of the activity, and aware of the need to preserve the forest, they decide to change their line of business and develop an agrotourism project on their territory. With this project, they hope to relate with nature in a sustainable way; to work at improving life quality and deliver to the youngest generations an attractive activity without having to see them leaving their land.

The building is nine stories high on the sport fields’ side. On the Boulevard side, the building fits the small-scale character of this pedestrian street with two building layers. The supermarket and the hairdresser are on this side. On the first floor, the dwellings are situated round a communal roof terrace. The façade facing the sport centre is fitted out as a climbing wall.
