FIRST PRIZE
These buildings are situated in exceptional location. The site, located on the upper edge of Av. d’Aragón, near the border between the developable and the undevelopable land, has good views and good orientation.
The proposal consists of two identical groupings, each one comprised of two different buildings: a block and a tower, meaning the apartments can take full advantage of the location. This arrangement means a large proportion of the properties are well orientated and have lots of natural light.
90 dwellings, a retail unit and 91 parking spaces are accommodated without exceeding the maximum buildable area or the number of floors stipulated by urban planning. The car park is on the basement level and the retail premises and four apartments are on the ground floor. The remaining properties are on the upper floors. The roof is home to the solar energy panels.
Distribution within the flats can be improved without increasing their floor area. The relationship between different living spaces can be changed to achieve greater visual width and allow the space to be used differently by, for example, opening up a bedroom or the kitchen directly to the living room.
The proposal we presented is based on including variable relationships between the spaces in the properties, allowing them to be used flexibly and adapting to the needs and preferences of each user.
