Nervios. Estás nervioso. Pierdes la concentración ¿Cuál es el tic que te ayuda a liberar esa tensión? Algunos lo intentan golpeando la mesa con los dedos, manoseando las llaves, o un bolígrafo, petando burbujas de plástico (si las circunstancias lo permiten), moviendo una pierna de forma compulsiva...

Located in Fitzroy North, Cubo House by PHOOEY Architectscomprises alterations and additions to an existing double storey heritage-listed dwelling. The small & dysfunctional rear portion of the existing house has been demolished & replaced with a new contemporary and sustainable three storey house (including basement).
