利马市今天正经历着房地产繁荣。在过去两年中，出售了大约40 000套住房。这些变化的速度和对社会住房的高需求已经衍生出来，这些项目更注重企业的盈利能力，而不是通过重新想象和提高设计空间的质量来改善人们的生活。此外，过去明确界定单位内空间的继承趋势，在今天的微型空间中已经衍生出来，而对空间质量却没有太大的关注。因此，利马每年增加住房单位的数量，但没有必要建立新的社区，也没有必要设想这些项目的生活方式。

The city of Lima is experiencing today a real estate boom. In the past two years, approximately 40 000 dwellings has been sold. The speed of these changes and the high demand for social housing has derived in projects that focuses more on the profitability of the business than improving people’s lives through the re-imagination and quality of the spaces that are designed. Moreover, inherited trends that used to define clearly the spaces within the flats have derived today in micro-spaces without much concern about the spatial quality. As a consequence, Lima has increased the amount of housing units per year, but not necessary the creation of new communities nor the imagination of a lifestyle along these projects.

从这个意义上讲，MQ项目是一个8米宽、20米长的4栋公寓楼，它围绕着这些想法进行探索，并承担了通过塑造优质公共区域以及在公寓内设计多功能区域以避免空间分裂的挑战，以提高建筑内的社区意识。

In this sense, the MQ project, a 4 apartment building in a 8m wide and 20 m long parcel, explores around these ideas and takes on the challenge of promoting a sense of community within the building by shaping quality communal areas as well as designing multifunctional areas within the flats for avoiding space fragmentation.

每间公寓面积84平方米，包括2个宿舍、2个卫生间、一个工作室、一个洗衣区和一个集厨房、餐厅和客厅为一体的社交区。主要的策略是在作为空间本身的主要走廊上形成一系列开放空间和房间。这种模式允许有几种东西：通过开阔空间的对角线扩展视觉感知，以及在项目的每一个房间中都有自然光和通风。

Each flat has 84m2 and contains 2 dormitories, 2 restrooms, a studio, a laundry area and a social area that integrates the kitchen, the dining room and the living room. The main strategy was the articulation of a series of open spaces and rooms along a main corridor that serves as a space itself. This pattern allows several things: the expansion of the visual perception through diagonals across the open spaces and the presence of natural light and ventilation in every room of the project.

建筑物的立面试图在定义所代表的两种功能时既清晰又清晰。在单位面积方面，我们提出了一个厚厚的立面，在外面有足够的深度来存放窗框，而在里面则有树干。在垂直环流区域，我们完全关闭它，并在施工过程中使用铸造网格。通过使用不同尺寸的理发师，这种感觉是在这堵墙内的一系列随机洞，它包含在一个非常合理和功能强大的网格中。

The facade of the building tries to be ludic as well as clear in defining the two functions that are represented. In the area of the flats we have proposed a thick facade that brings enough depth to host window boxes in the outside and trunks in the inside. In the area of the vertical circulation, we entirely close it and play with the cast grid during the construction process. By using different sizes of barrettes the perception is a series of random holes within this wall contained within a very rational and functional grid.

社交空间分为两个：一个是半地下室的宽敞的社交空间，从上面的开口中获得自然光，另一个屋顶是以长凳为主要主角的屋顶，它与城市的其他地方、建筑物前面的公园以及天空晴朗时的海洋景观密切相关。一堵红色的墙，标志着社会区域和垂直循环连接着两个空间。从这个意义上说，建筑的基础和顶部欢迎居住在一个亲密的，覆盖的空间，当在基地时，在一个新鲜和沉思的空间，当在屋顶。

The social spaces are two: a generous social area in a semi-basement that dramatically receives the natural light from the openings above, and a rooftop that has a bench as the main protagonist and that engages with the rest of the city, the park in front of the building and a view of the ocean when the sky is clear. A red wall that marks both the social areas as well as the vertical circulation connects both spaces. In this sense both the base and the top of the building welcomes the inhabitants of the building in an intimate, covered space when is at the base and in a fresh and contemplative spaces when is at the rooftop.
