The fundamental challenge is the vertical body, which hides the core of vertical communications. That core is responsible for ensuring the necessary rigidity and resistance so that the aloft house can emerge as a cantilever. In turn, the rest of the house balances the overturning moment of the vertical part.

The project is located on the northern coast of Egypt. Located a short distance from the Mediterranean, its configuration on two levels allows views from the upper part of the proposal. A single line less than 30 cm thick seeks to synthesize the traditional representation that symbolizes the Egyptian god of wisdom. The vertical element, with a variable section, allows the communication core to be housed while maintaining the expressiveness of the project.

Part of the house is completely cantilevered, emerging from a vertical wall, apparently not thick enough. Jib cantilevers always require a solution to its two fundamental parts: the cantilever body itself, visible and apparent; and the vertical body or mast, from which the first starts. The cantilever body needs to be light. It is solved with a triangulated steel structure. In this way it can be built at ground level, with maximum precision and using precambers, to be finally hoisted into position once the wall-mast is finished. To improve balance, the counterweight of the opposite cantilever with additional mass in reinforced concrete is used.
