THE PRINCIPAL AIM OF THE PROJECT IS TO DESIGN A COMPACT NEW CONSTRUCTION TO ADDRESS THE URBAN IMPACT OF INTRODUCING A LARGE AMENITY INTO A CONSOLIDATED URBAN FABRIC. THE APPEARANCE OF THE BUILDING IS DEFINED BY THE SYSTEMATIC USE OF PREFABRICATED CONCRETE ELEMENTS IN ITS FAÇADE, CREATING A REPETITIVE YET VARIED IMAGE DUE TO THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE OPENINGS, POSITIONED ACCORDING TO THE NEEDS OF THE INTERIORS. THE BUILDING IS DESIGNED AS A SEMI-BASEMENT IN RESPONSE TO THE PARTICULAR CONDITIONS OF THE PLACE. THIS STRATEGY SERVES TO REDUCE THE REAL HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING AND ENSURE GOOD VIEWS FOR THE SINGLE- AND MULTI-FAMILY DWELLINGS LOCATED TO THE REAR OF THE COMPLEX.
