Comme pour les jumelés conçus par la [Société d'habitation du Québec] dans les années 1980, l'entrée au logement se fait par un porche froid qui transite vers un vestibule chauffé. Cependant, à la demande des participants à la charrette de design, les espaces sont plus spacieux et le porche froid du prototype est muni d'un meuble de rangement avec une surface de travail en inox.
