Incisiones [3dF] Building

The plot, just like most of the urban fabric of the city, is marked by a historical width of 8.66m.

However, it presents some unconventional features, the product of the addition of a second plot of a larger area in the centre of the block, which used to function as a "breathing space".

Accordingly, 3dF Building acquires the status of a mixed-use building [Store, Offices, Garages, Apartments, Amenities], seeking to maximize the use of the lot by balancing the covered surface with optimum lighting and ventilation requirements for each functional unit.

This division allows functional and structural independence (avoiding tedious load-transfers and/or programmatic subordination to incompatible structural solutions).

On the back, in direct response to the growing demand in the area, 45 parking spaces are divided into 3 levels (with natural lighting and ventilation) and above them, 315m2 of amenities, recovering the initial condition of “breathing space” for the entire block.

The project is geometrically structured by considering the 4m-diameter ventilation space required for natural ventilation, using its tangents as a connecting line that links the two parts of the projects.

Additionally, an incision is generated in the back of the building, separating the units and improving privacy.

Finally, the same operation is performed on the front, separating the balconies and endowing them with light from the East.
