Arcoiris Sur
Los Peralejos is an area located on the Northeastern
side of the city of Santo Domingo, just north from Juan Pablo Duarte high-way,
the main thoroughfare in the island, and next to Republica de Colombia Ave., which runs along Santo Domingo‘s Green
Belt. These are the main access ways into the city from the island's
North-Central region (known as Cibao), the area where the country's the main agricultural and
livestock production is to be found.
This has brought about the development of
large, unplanned industrial production and service centers throughout the area
surrounding our project, that mingle with large areas of informal dwelling
along with new real state developments that have, in turn, resulted in an
expansion of business and social exchange and, thus, in a sustained increase in
the area's population as a result of which a large deficit of living space has
been triggered.
A distinct trait of the area is the mixed
use of the land and the existence of large empty lots. The basic infrastructure
-namely drinking water, power supply lines, roads, etc. - are only now being
put in place, which has an effect on the development of new real state
projects, which are to be conceived within the context of the informal dwelling
alternatives that define the landscape.
It is in this context that we were asked
to develop a lot of approximately 9,000 sq. mt., and slightly irregular
topography. We were called to develop a real state project aimed at the social
stratum that generates the aforementioned housing expansion.
Our lot is located right on Republica
de Colombia Ave. This
project’s particular parameters are:
a) We have projected an entranceway that
runs parallel to the main avenue, to reduce the impact that direct access to
the development from said avenue would bring. We have also projected
landscaping on both sides of the entranceway to lower noise levels.
b) The compositional principle that we
have proposed is naturally defined by the lot's topography and shape.
The model we have proposed comprises a
closed set of units that long for intimacy and protection as they interact with
their own unplanned context. The main axis is devoted to circulation and it
splits the lot into two areas that we have further divided into three, which we
have then used to develop different typological variations; i.e. detached
single-family units, paired single-family units and attached single-family
units, thus providing
for a more reasonable use of the land and several design choices.
These units maintain a similar geometry
and regular alignment while following the street axis. The organization of
these inhabitable volumes provides a fragmented vision, which in turn causes a
number of variations associated with composition, color and shape along the
axis.
The proposed units are developed into two
levels, where the social and service facilities are located on the lower level
while the upper level houses the sleeping quarters. Each unit has a garden in
the front, a verandah and a small backyard.
