PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project is being developed on a 1,242-square-meter plot located on Mar Mármara Street, which was formerly designed by Architect Federico González Gortazar.
The project's program required the solution of 11 private units within the property. Views, privacy, shadows, heights, and circulations are just some of the components of the challenge presented by a program like this. The project proposes 11 apartments, each with different dimensions and layouts, interacting with each other and revealing volumes and materials around a central patio located on the entrance level. This central patio functions as a connecting element where, on one side, the basement is bathed in light through its open-sky garden, and on the other side, the apartments originate from it and develop oriented towards the various advantages offered by the terrain.
On the upper levels of the complex, bridges stand out, inviting one to traverse the project from east to west through double heights and open skies, while discovering the interaction of exposed concrete with volumes that come in and out, breaking the surfaces. Views of skies filter through iron mesh windows with proposed trees and vegetation and, of course, with the central patio and its green foliage emerging from the basement.
From the street, the main facade steps back, opening generous terraces into the apartments and showing deep respect for pedestrians walking along the sidewalks. The project's facades display regional materials that, in their composition and treatment, reflect the essence of the project: a strong proposal, a building with personality that deeply identifies with the local past and respectfully and dignifiedly proposes the renewal that the city demands.
DESCRIPCIÓN DEL PROYECTO:
El proyecto se desarrolla sobre un terreno de 1,242 metros cuadrados ubicado sobre la calle de Mar Mármara, y que antiguamente fuera obra del Arq. Federico González Gortazar.
El programa del proyecto exigía resolver 11 unidades privativas dentro del predio. Vistas, privacidad, sombras, alturas, circulaciones… son solo algunos componentes de la problemática que un programa como este plantea. El proyecto plantea 11 departamentos todos de diferentes dimensiones y distribuciones entre sí que interactúan dejando entre ver volúmenes y materiales alrededor de un patio central ubicado en la planta de ingreso. Este patio central funciona como elemento liga en donde por un lado el sótano se baña de luz a través de su jardín a cielo abierto, y por otro lado, los departamentos parten de él, y se desenvuelven orientados a las diferentes bondades que el terreno ofrece.
En los niveles superiores del conjunto sobresalen unos puentes que a través de dobles alturas y cielos abiertos invitan a recorrer el proyecto en el sentido oriente poniente mientras se va descubriendo la interacción de aparentes de concreto enduelado con volúmenes que entran y salen y van rompiendo los paños, vistas de cielos que se filtran a través de las ventanas de malla de herrería con el arbolado y la vegetación propuesta y desde luego, con el patio central y su follaje verde que emerge desde el sótano.
