The "building " consists of 182 compartments accessible in two directions. There are two components of 91 compartments which merge at the diagonal of void squares or the line of reflections. The built-in objects and compositional pieces within the prototype are adapted to the many different aspects of living such as games, furniture, kitchen and dinning utensils, work and building utensils and so on.
