Memory of project
Ten dwellings per storey are organized in each PB+3 building, in a way that turning three dwellings to the façade and keeping other seven line up to the street the building is broken up in two different parts, allowing the corners and the relationships between the inner façades and the outside ones with the whole.
A slight slope divides the underground floors, allowing the entrance of light and fresh air to the parking. On that sloped surface covered with honeysuckle, where a small black poplar forest is seeded for, during the summer, protecting from the Sun and to refresh the wind.
At the same time, the access and the community spaces are projected as a relationship place, intermediate spaces between the dwellings and the outside space. On this way is understood the footbridge, as a tradition element, where the corrugated steel mesh responds with more or less density to the necessities of the program (handrails, lattices, balconies…), allowing the façade to home vegetal colonizations which, add up to the black poplars, refresh a spaces whose orientation will make it really appreciated on the warm season.
