Text description provided by architect.
The building is located in Palermo neighborhood, a small-scale residential area, with an important traffic flow. Two volumes of housing are implanted supported on the front and back of the lot according to the scale of the neighborhood.
Both volumes are connected by an open staircase and bridges where the accesses to the units are located, between these two elements a vertical grid appears with vegetation that connects all the levels.
This open system generates a central void that takes advantage of the lower height of the boundaries and seeks to capture more natural light.
On the free ground floor, we find the access and the retails, which contains a succession of courtyards and balconies that are linked to the central void that separates the retail from the common amenities of the building.
In the three levels above, we found eleven units developed in five different typologies. In the 1° and 2° floor, studio and two room apartments; in the 3° floor two- and three-room units in duplex with a private terrace.
The living place is projected for a temporary rent, that´s why it was given particularly characteristics depending on the location and surface.
The corten steel facade (west) provides privacy, a visual control from the street and generates an interesting light and shadow game.
On the rear facade, the glass balustrades allow the opening towards the courtyard of the ground floor, where we find green spaces, the pool and the solarium.
These two ranges of colors are mixed in the main void where the light combines them prioritizing the warm tones over the cold ones and giving a final and homogeneous character to the building.
