Located in the Saavedra neighborhood, just a few blocks from the park, this residential building is set within an urban fabric of medium density, where proximity to greenery and the residential character of the area define a gentle and human-scale atmosphere. The project seeks to integrate into this spirit, offering spacious, generous units—both indoors and outdoors—that act as true extensions of domestic life.

The building is organized around a central courtyard that not only structures the shared circulation paths but also ensures cross ventilation and excellent natural light in all units. This central void becomes a breathing space, where the architecture opens up to let in sunlight and air, enhancing the connection between public and private realms.

Materiality plays a key role in the project’s identity. The entire building is clad in small aqua-green tiles that resonate with the lush vegetation of the inner courtyards. This choice aims to blur the boundaries between the built and the natural, creating a vibrant, almost liquid presence that reflects both the sky and the surrounding greenery.
