Project detail

This building posed a true challenge, as it brought together multiple factors:

On one hand the requirements of the job involved creating an exclusive residential complex in which all the units were to feature large terraces and/or gardens, to face towards a pine grove to the southeast, while retaining the commercial appeal typical of penthouses. Moreover, under the building the plans called for placing a public parking facility, which could not hamper or damage the quality and use of the units in question.
The project also had to work with a small and irregular plot closed in by a common wall and a 10-meter retaining wall, all in addition to the volumetric limitations imposed by city ordinances.

An organic development approach was chosen, both for the floors and sections, which would yield a terraced structure in which all the dwellings would feature a fluid connection between inside and outside spaces, without sacrificing privacy.

The enclosures are of granite, which is combined with glass panels, both in apertures in the facade as well as ledges and awnings, whose light appearance provides a visual counterpoint to the heavy sensation produced by the stone.

Given the complexity of the plan and its structure, with concrete slabs and concrete and steel pillars, it had to be conceived and calculated as a three-dimensional entity, due to the impossibility of maintaining the alignment of the supports involved.
