The project "Le Quartier No. 1" contains of two parts. The first one called "Le Jardin", is an arrangement of six modern and classy cubes with distinct lines und broad terrace- and loggia areas. The second part is "La Maison No. 14", a historic building off Wilhelminian time. During the realisation of terraces, balconies or loggias der Terrassen und Balkone hight adjustable pedestals have been

Surrounded on two sides by water, this building features different levels, a distinctive design and plenty of glass
and towers like a huge ship and her superstructure out of
