Localized in Iquique, northern Chile, this mixed-use project, designed by the architect Christopher Frank, CEO of CONOR, pretends to change the way of design the urban landscape of the city. The project, located in a big avenue of the city (Héroes de la Concepción), was home of many social housings, that actually are transforming into local business, and this is also the request of the client, to build in a small site (94m2), destinated originally to be a social house, now to become an apartment and a commercial business. The program of enclosures was a real challenge, plus the inconveniences of a restrictive construction procedures of the zone. Our answer was to design and build a commercial business with urban presence in two levels (with a third floor for a residential use, including a fully independent access)
