Zafiro is a housing project located on a plot of land adjacent to the cul-de-sac of Agusto Egas and Bosmediano Street.
The volume of the building is laid out in an “L” shape, forming a generous semi-public plaza that is directly linked to the sidewalk, equipped with vegetation and street furniture. The space that is freed up for the development of the plaza, in addition to providing lighting and security, reduces the visual impact on pedestrians who circulate on the road and live in the area and consolidates the sector with an important urban finish.
The building is made up of 56 apartments, with one, two and three bedrooms, distributed on six floors upwards from the plaza level and two floors downwards, adapting to the topography of the land. It has three underground parking floors independent of the circulation corridors of the apartments on these floors. The basements contain around 90 private parking spaces and several for visitors that help reduce the density of vehicles looking for space on Augusto Egas Street. Additionally, there are storage rooms for each housing unit. In the first basement, natural light and openings are generated towards the boundaries, creating a ventilated environment with a view and lighting.
The typical floor plan contains three independent bodies of apartments separated by two circulation axes that are reflected in the volumetry, allowing the entry of natural light and ventilation. Each of these bodies contains 2-bedroom apartments on the corners and one-bedroom apartments in the center of the same. The vast majority of apartments have a balcony captured on the façade as a grid that reflects the modulation of the apartments. This decision helped to have flexibility in the project at the time of marketing, achieving the articulation of these modules forming 3-bedroom apartments.
The building is equipped on the ground floor with a double-height lobby and a gym with access to a covered terrace decorated with perimeter planters. The communal room is located on the terrace in such a way that it divides it into two bodies with perimeter planters and making them independent from each other. From this place there is a 360-degree panoramic view of the city.
