Abstract

The proposal is summarized in 3 universes; DIVERSITY, DNA and SKINS.  Diversity refers to providing freedom and flexibility to the occupants, through a program that adapts to different ways of working and living.

DNA seeks to create a genuine identity, in order to encourage people from different cultures and backgrounds to come together to bring a sense of community, while suggesting an easily recognizable style. The distinctive identity will come from the SKINS, which will provide the color palettes, materials and textures needed to materialize each space.

This 14-level building, with 5,289m2 and 128 living units, which also has flexible use rooms, locker rooms, coworking spaces, bar and a rooftop with terrace and bar, is an invitation to bring together life and community academia. The space that is inhabited defines a lifestyle, in which the exchange of experiences and sustainability are fundamental pillars.

The program proposes a diversity of uses that are juxtaposed in height, encouraging encounters. The activities and spaces are not only aimed at people who live in the building, but also admit people who are passing through, for example; people who go to work, to stay, to some kind of class or workshop, to leisure plans or simply to visit friends and socialize.
