The Domino House can be seen as a monolith whose stability depends on the solidity of its neighbours. This is demonstrated by the building being in a state of equilibrium with, as a sole support, the dividing gable wall of the house next door. This exacerbated geometry that incites confidence and trust in ones neighbours creates interstitial spaces. They can either serve as exploitable elements for the home or be developed as communal premises with the neighbouring buildings.

Thus, the porch at street level could either be a garage, a covered passageway, a common room or a boutique. The sloping roof is suitable for solar panels and its large surface area permits the recuperation of rainwater that can be used for sanitary installations and for watering plants and garden.
