Located in the Villa Urqueza neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina, the M5606 apartment building designed by Arqtipo reinterprets spatial and temporal instances concerning the context, orientation and urban character.
Comprising ten residential units on a compact corner plot adjacent to the FFCC Mitre, the project proposes integrating the public space into the first two floors of the building. Additionally, it sensitively incorporates the upper setbacks to the envelope, which fosters an empathetic relationship with the surroundings.
A mono-material envelope of Bricko from Corblock wraps the structure, optimising its constructive capacity. The balcony extensions are bevelled along the perimeter of the facade to mitigate noise, provide privacy, and regulate the amount of light.
Therefore, the apartment building explores new living configurations that promote versatility and contemporaneity.
