The challenge
The orientation of the apartments was defined to favor the best views of the surroundings and keep the less attractive ones to a minimum. One corner of the site was conditioned by an antenna, so the layout and orientation of the units were worked out strategically so that as few apartments as possible would look directly onto it.
The design decision
The smaller apartments were placed in the area with the least favorable views, reserving the best orientations for the main units. The ground floor was set at a level that frees up parking space beneath the complex and concentrates the apartments from the first level up. In addition, the corner of the project was used for the amenities, turning this site condition into a meeting and connecting point for users.
