The patio allows all the units to have a double orientation, and therefore, ensures the cross ventilation of the apartments, and with it, the possibility of thermal control of the buildings with passive systems. The building was born from the desire to be a project open to the city. Generating the maximum number of linear meters of façade, and trying to ensure that these have the best possible orientation to guarantee the best possible thermal and light input to each and every one of the departments.

At the same time, the desire to define an efficient and economical construction system, based on the definition of dimensions that avoid large gaps and therefore structural cost overruns. Each of the 10 plants of the project has 4 departments; Along with two apartments that have a private patio on the ground floor, the project has a total of 40 units. The apartments are distributed around the central courtyard, fully consolidating its north facade, and opening to the south. The location of two vertical cores, as efficient in their operation as possible, act as a hinge between the departments and avoid direct adjoining.

Departments

The design of the apartments seeks the construction of the quality of each of the spaces of the house based on its spatial quality, light and views, and not on the design of its finishes. Thus, the apartments are designed to make the public spaces of the house as open and open as possible. The distribution of the apartments is designed to concentrate the downspouts and ventilation in specific points, in order to grant maximum flexibility to future alterations of the distribution.Finally, the project seeks to make the distribution of the homes as efficient as possible, and uses the more public spaces of the house as distributors, thus avoiding the existence of corridors.

Roof Garden and collective areas

In the upper part of the roof a pergola is defined that unifies the experience of the terrace and the shade. Different areas are proposed, characterized by small endowments for the whole. Thus there is an area of ​​barbecue grills and an area with tables. The vegetation that is foreseen on the roof, aims to add quality and comfort to the terrace. The patio aims to be a catalyst of light, heat and views for all the apartments, but it is also the heart of the project: what will build the identity of the place. It is anticipated that there will be in this central zone a small extension of vegetation, and some trees; As it is a private and interior area, isolated from the street, it can be a rest and play area for children, as well as a small lung for the whole set. The gymnasium and a small rest or reception area open onto this central space, which is projected as an area of ​​vegetation and color that also serves as a connection with the access area of ​​the building.
