POLARIS
Type
YEAR
2010
SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
The
architecture of Valle de Bravo is
full of tradition can be seen in
the streets surrounded by houses and buildings dating from the colonial era. The town maintains a consistent colonial
style with tile roofs gabled, whitewashed
walls and slabs
of clay used as a
floor.
The
main feature of this project is its successful integration
with the urban context using local materials
such as stone, wood and concrete.
The
project consists of an inverted gable roof which serves
to capture the rainwater and reuse it for local services and the
washing of motorcycles making
this a self-sustaininggreen
building.
On
the outside it appears as a great showcase for display of vehicles, where it crosses a rectangle of floating concrete that doesn´t touch one
side of the structure bound
by two beams covered in wood.
The
exterior facade of
glass plays with the reflections of what happens on the outside and joins with a mound
of grass and stones that serves as exhibition, which is topped with a
stone wall that was recovered
from the streets surrounding
the premises.
The
lightness of the roof is given by the multi panel which is
covered with natural wood from
the region to which was applied a
natural sealant.
On
the inside passes an Irving maintenance grid that gives way to
the motorcycles, this grid fulfills
a dual role, at night it becomes
the lighting, due to be painted with blue epoxy
paint, the room illuminates with a dim blue light, giving the importance to the passage and delivery of vehicles through indirect lighting, it is achieved by giving the final touch of a building that fits the Valle de Bravo environment, where lighting plays by painting timber of warm
colors in the night.
Natural
light plays an important role thanks to the orientation and the domes located in the multi panel as well as front and rear windows nullify the use
of artificial light during the day.
This
work is characterized by its low environmental
impact using strategies such as the
reuse of existing structures, good
connectivity to transit systems, energy
conservation and water use
of environmentally friendly building materials and a design that allows for good indoor air quality.
Environmental
issues involved the incorporation of climate variables (solar
radiation and natural light, humidity and wind, insulation and thermal inertia)
and geographical factors to define a
project's character as a cultural
element.
