Our architectural proposal for the site ED-01 in Sueca sector C-9, was develop respecting the urban rules established, however analysing the existing volumetric spaces from the ED area, with the objective of making it more flexible, in order to improve the visual conditions of the apartments, to adapt them to their new needs through the improvement of their relation with the urban environment.
In the two parallelepiped facing one another of five and six storey height each(North block and south block), we have cut their opposite corners, oxygenating both blocks, thus giving both corners a communal green terrace. The space between both buildings remains open, leaving a new pedestrian street which makes it possible to have double orientation entrances and retails of a higher quality, at the same time this allows the parking floor, which fills the whole site surface for direct apertures into the pedestrian space.
The apartment organisation in both buildings follows a modular grid of 2,70m, which allows the creation of different apartments typologies only by adding or subtracting individual modules into them. The idea of this characteristic is to obtain the yearn look for flexibility, which allows in case of any programme changes during the materialization of the project, the possibility to make as many typologic combinations needed in order to obtain 1, 2, 3 or 4 rooms apartments.
The apartments are based on a double orientation scheme following the modulated grid, creating day spaces facing the main streets and night ones (the rooms) facing the pedestrian street, leaving a wed use central module to whom are also given the storage spaces. The edges of every building are resolved with the creation of three apartments with a single staircase core, thus allowing the ending of the modulated series and the development of the lateral façades.
In our proposal we have change the 90m2 demand defined in the programme, for a combination of different apartment types which we thought where more closer to the actual social demand.
