The project is articulated over different levels, with commercial activities and the public library at ground level, offices on the first floor and public spaces on top of those. Three buildings are suspended above this public area – one containing offices and the other two for residential use, where at the base features a double skin façade with vertical aluminum sunscreen fins.
The residential buildings contrast in terms of their typology and external treatment. The first is a tower containing small and medium-sized flats, partially enclosed with a horizontal adjustable screen-printed glass blades. The second building – the “villas”contains luxury duplex apartments and is clad with aluminum panels that provide flexible, adjustable sun shading and a playful, ever-changing envelope.
All these functional devices have been designed to provide a vigorous visual impact givingperspective variety and lightness to the building mass.
