CAN GREEN SPACES CONTRIBUTE TO A SENSE OF BELONGING AND WELL-BEING IN URBAN LIVING, AND DO THEY IMPROVE THE OVERALL URBAN EXPERIENCE?
With a gesture capable of contaminating the context, the proposal is not only limited to filling a volume but also represents an integrative approach to the urban fabric and nearby surroundings.
The jury highlighted "the investment and the audacity" of the intervention since it not only encompassed the architectural design but also "a seductive design proposal for the adjacent park and square" that the project presented. The jury distinguished the proposal given the "remarkable cohesion demonstrated in its response to the competition program which resulted in a building of very high architectural quality".
Located in a corner, amidst buildings, a park and a square, the main goal of the project was to clear the first floor so that there would be no barriers from an urban point of view, making the volumes under the building become part of the everyday life of all who pass by.
Given its location at the convergence of two slopes, the building must be formally available to react and interact with its surroundings, moving across its layers, joining all the pieces of the first floor, and breaking on the upper floors.
The building twists and turns, following the contours of the hill and mimicking the movement of its curves, denying a static condition. If inside the house is where people find their refuge, it is in the square that they seek to enliven not only the residents' experience but also to promote a redesign of the surroundings by linking the square to a new green park, with an unobstructed first floor beneath the building, facilitating the flow of users.
Design to use prefabricated concrete panels covered with tiles, the facade module is sequentially mirrored, reflecting light differently along its surface, vibrating. The balconies, also pre-fab pieces, extend in and out of the facade, changing in each of the apartments.
The way the two materials - concrete and tile - reflect, and the changing color of the podium, give the building the ability to sweeten itself and merge into the residents' activities. Not settling into monotony, the building demanded movement. The apartments challenge this desire for movement, exhibiting a design rigidity regulated by the relationship of emptiness, which leaves room for occupation, and where the rooms are not only delimited in the private but also mediate the collective experience.
