这个概念从树木通过立面连在一起的想法开始。建筑，一个具体的结构，成为主干。

The concept begins with the idea of the contiunity of the trees through the facade. The architecture, a concrete structure, becomes the trunk.

该项目的基础一方面是城市发展法规允许的密度，另一方面是地块本身的不规则几何图形。最后一个前提是，结构设计由混凝土结构墙组成，允许空旷空间满足公寓和停车场的需求。

The project is based in one hand by the density permitted by the urban development code, and on the other hand by the irregular geometry of the plot itself. This last premise dictates the structural design wich consists in concrete structural walls that allow the open spaces fulfill the needs for the apartments as well as the parking level.

西面实现了对流线型街道最大面积的开放，对室内空间表现出水平的形态。阳台被用作室内空间的延伸，过滤街道水平的景观，并在立面上设置植被缓冲器。

The west facade achieves to open the maximum area to the lushed street, expressing an horizontal shape to the interior spaces. The balconies are used as an extension of the interior space, filtering views from the street level with the vegetation buffer across the facade.

体积由主要结构材料：钢筋混凝土表示。这体现了外部和内部空间之间的真正联系。

The volume is expressed by the main structural material: reinforced concrete. This materializes the real connection between exterior and interior spaces.

建筑物的中央核心由垂直循环(楼梯和电梯)构成，中间自然由玻璃天花板组成，并辅之以中央裂缝，为每一层提供通风。

The central core of the building is formed by the vertical circulation (stairs and elevator), wich is naturaly iluminated by a glass ceiling and complemented by a central crack that ventilates each floor.

这里有两种公寓；前两层是一层公寓，由两间画廊组成，将社交和服务区与私人空间(房间和电视室)明显分开。上层分成两间顶层公寓。第二层是根据代码要求向后推后的，为每个顶层公寓生成两个私人露台。

There are 2 kinds of apartments; the first two levels consist in a one-story apartment divided by 2 galleries that clearly separate the social and service area with the private spaces (rooms and tv room). The upper levels separate into two penthouses. The second storey is pushed back beacuse of code requirement, generating two private terraces for each penthouse.
