The rooms, all of the same size, are distributed around the vertical communication core that has a peculiar concrete lattice that provides lighting and ventilation to this space. This nucleus of communication is proposed in such a way that it is a meeting place that communicates with the rest of the public program, fostering interactions between students.
Description of project by Estudio Zero
A proposal for a set of student residences in Queretaro, which, due to its design, promotes the cohesion and social inclusion of students by providing an accessible space for study and decent work, promoting vertical life in internal and external spaces.
Given the opportunity to build a student residence project with a different concept within the vicinity of a university with the intention of changing the perspective of the area, Habitee Urban Dorms was born.
Being in a complex due to its physical characteristics with very variable width and length dimensions, the priority of the project was the search for a good orientation and tools that facilitate both lighting and natural ventilation as well as the use of maximum heights. allowed.
In this way, the project is embedded in 3 patios of different sizes, the first to differentiate a clear access, the second to generate a central circulation within two wings of rooms, and the third to let the building around it breathe. The project ends facing north, benefiting that all the rooms are not delimited by an opaque wall but are permeated by ventilation, natural light and views.
The project consists of a ground floor where the public program embraces the patios created generating different sensations of serenity and allows interaction between residents to be a must. Subsequently, the private program is located on the following 4 levels ending with a roof terrace with privileged views of the city.
The rooms are divided into two wings of the same proportions on each level, giving way to bedrooms of similar size and quality of space, linked by a core of vertical circulation perforated by a concrete lattice that naturally ventilates and illuminates the public space within them. levels that allow adequate programming for residents.
The intention is to promote vertical life in internal and external spaces within the building, seeking verticality from the perspective that can be generated in level 0, raising solid exposed concrete walls and perforated only by the space occupied by the corridors that communicate the rooms. to finish with a steel hat that is part of the planter that delimits the rooftop and works as a natural railing.
Thus, the project ends up promoting cohesion and social inclusion inside and outside an area, solving a need for a service and proposing the stimulation of an already traveled area that can be more friendly with the passer-by and create new urban dynamics between students and people. that inhabits the area.
