The house had been abusively raised in the 90s without keeping the distance from the border and from the fronts of the neighboring houses. Anyone who would buy this house would have had to adjust the situation. In an ironic attempt to give shape to the urban planning rule, we have conceptually defined the perimeter of the first floor of the house starting from the curves and alignments deriving from the imaginary legal lines.
