Havana is defined by the critical density of its center: narrow streets limited by buildings hiding in their interiors patios and communal spaces. The project occupies an entire block and contains the morphological richness of the existing city with its alterations between dense volumes and empty spaces and the gradient from public to private, creating a new neighborhood for the city. In Havana, one could argue that life activity happens on the street, often times leaving interior patios in a state of neglect and decay. Rather than providing points of urban interaction within the city fabric, such spaces end up as empty voids.
