How should architecture merge into an irregular facade-scape context, while generating character in a contextual yet contemporary proposal?
Yácatas_475 seeks to answer this question while addressing the pressures of real estate development: high land value, densification, local construction regulations, consumer and market demand, and timing.
A black-reflective square-shaped facade, is a response. It captures the neighborhood reflections and the surrounding lights, while building a special character.
It uses this long lasting material not only for tradition and low-maintenance qualities, but also for achieving an absolute flash of the material´s aesthetics properties: color and light saturation.
The architecture is about comfort living at affordable price.
Luxury is achieved through continuous space, natural light, flexibility and carefully chosen materials.
Natural light and ventilation are constant.
Roof Gardens, open corridors and generous terraces become a way of life.
The geometry is simple, thus efficient and cost-affording. The advertising campaign was based on dramatic snapshots, generating expectation while reflecting the cutting-edge design of the proposal.
