The project is in the heart of the city of Paris, the main goal of planning, was creating low income residents for young postman.

It is located in a gap between two buildings: a narrow strip of land, squeezed into a block of late 19th century apartment buildings.
This empty space includes the open staircase which protrudes at the back of the building and also serves as a communication area to the city.

One of the qualities of this structure is its ability to provide day light and open space' to all residents, as well as an optional social life.

The façade is equipped with sliding aluminum panels which provide privacy, and at the same time create a lively pattern changing with the time of day, and with the habits of the tenants.

This phenomenon in the fabric of Paris urbanism is unique. Although it is a low income project, it provides good living conditions. It also contributes to its environment, by "expending the street".
