art of waisting space

Project idea

The concept for this project emerged from the challenges posed by constructing buildings at unusual angles and their orientation facing a boulevard. Instead of attempting to fit apartments with awkward layouts, we transformed the space into a mini park, providing a communal area and a natural retreat for residents and visitors. To address the second challenge, we implemented a dynamic facade featuring wooden louvers that can be adjusted by the residents from the inside. This design solution effectively blocks the view from the boulevard while allowing residents to enjoy the sunset with a sense of privacy

Project description

The project comprises a residential building offering a range of apartments, from studios to three-bedroom units, with both simplex and duplex options available. All residents will have access to a communal park, fostering a sense of community and providing a natural retreat. The facade, as previously mentioned, features adjustable wooden louvers that residents can modify from the inside as needed. The ground floor is designated for various businesses, enhancing the building's functionality and convenience. Additionally, a passageway connects the building to a parking lot located at the rear, exclusively for residents' use. The basement includes individual storage units for each apartment, as well as a community room where residents can meet to discuss issues or matters of importance.

Technical information

The building is constructed using reinforced concrete, ensuring structural integrity and durability. The park will feature layered vegetation growth systems, akin to green roof technology, providing a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing environment. The dynamic facade incorporates advanced automated technology similar to that used in motorized blinds. However, instead of blinds, it utilizes wooden louvers that can open and close in specific patterns, offering residents customizable control over light and privacy

el arte de no ocupar espacio

El proyecto "El arte de desaprovechar el espacio" ofrece una respuesta refrescante e inventiva a los retos de diseño urbano que plantean la difícil geometría del solar y la exposición de los bulevares. La transformación de los incómodos espacios residuales en un miniparque comunitario refleja el encomiable compromiso de mejorar la habitabilidad y fomentar la interacción social en un entorno residencial denso. El dinámico sistema de fachada de lamas de madera es una solución inteligente y flexible, que ofrece a los residentes privacidad y control ambiental personalizado, al tiempo que contribuye a la expresiva identidad del edificio. La incorporación de salas comunitarias, tecnologías ecológicas y una planta baja comercial refuerza la funcionalidad y la cohesión social del proyecto. No obstante, podría perfeccionarse para enriquecer la experiencia peatonal en torno al edificio, reforzar la secuencia espacial de la calle al parque y articular con mayor claridad las estrategias de rendimiento medioambiental más allá de la estratificación verde básica. En general, este proyecto presenta una sólida base conceptual, una innovación arquitectónica bien pensada y sensibilidad hacia la comunidad.
