SITUATION OF PLACE :
Corner lot , steep slope , next to the border and facing green area of a closed blending wall. The highest tested is facing northeast face.
PARTY ARCHITECTURAL :
The topography initially suggested a more obvious deployment , resulting in an array of fragmented blocks , following the contour of the ground in successive plateaus . This simplistic solution was abandoned , adopting one that would counteract the unfavorable characteristics of topography for those aiming maximum utilization , the dimensions of the field , to promote interaction of the residents .
DESIGN :
From this original intention , we determined the organization of the areas of service, social and intimate that the order , occupy the lower floors , ground floor and upper , respectively. Thus , the highest level terrain along the sidewalk , was extended to the point where the lower floor, could be deployed . With this topography was reversed and a great and unique plateau appeared . Above him rose the intimate block, a large rectangle , positioned close to the boundary wall of the allotment . This decision away from the street, the openings of the dorms , which lined , open mezzanine to the ground , in addition to this intimate block, acts as a visual and acoustic barrier against the neighbor, who is a school .
They thus formed naturally social area , plus other buildings, such as the entrance walkway and recreational area and pool, defined the large courtyard , where converge all environments aimed at socializing . It is important to note the absence of visual barriers on the ground floor , which ensures a total area of the lot size , as well as an almost exclusive contact with the green area of the allotment .
Externally the courtyard compulsory retreat , followed correction of the gap , which ensured greater privacy . The closure made of slatted wood , has further expanded the sense of freedom that a residence in a gated subdivision provides.
