Thanks to this formal decision, they manage to solve the complex irregularity of the plot, achieving two intern apartments on the second and third floors. The entire project revolves around its vertical and cylindrical axis, so it is solved in an ingenious way, with an entrance of light and natural ventilation on all its floors. It also includes a zenith entrance on the roof resolved with a skylight.
The project stands out with a contrast of tonality that reiterates the grouping of its service package. This one has an appearance of sandy and raw tones, in contrast to the interior rooms that stand out for being white.
Description of project by Arquitectura-G
Multi-family building with 5 dwellings and two commercial premises located in the Poblenou district of Barcelona.
The project resolves a corner plot of irregular geometry by placing in the centre a cylindrical vertical communications core that concentrates all the installations and services necessary for the dwellings. This gesture frees up the entire perimeter and allows for the fitting of two flats on the second and third floors. On the attic floor, which contains a single dwelling, the core uncovers its circular geometry and allows a dwelling to develop around it.
This core of vertical communication opens onto the street on the ground floor and on the first and second floors, and to the sky at its highest point. In this way, relations with the city are established at different points along the route and the natural lighting and ventilation of the communal elements are favoured.
