For this apartment building, the idea was to create a body that would respect the contour and stance of the neighboring Laredo 17—also designed by Archetonic—whose central space separates the two bodies to create the new entrance to the building as if it related to a comprehensive program in three blocks.
Because of its slightly taller proportion, the new body would have a line that would be made blind in order to frame the horizontals with a void.
To reinforce this concept, the façade of the project was designed with plycem instead of concrete, generating a more consistent tone, favored by the creation of a single block. This version was rejected for regulatory reasons, so the project was inverted, leaving the blind block adjacent to Laredo 17 and the glass side opposite to it.
The blind block makes up a geometry of positive and negative spaces, solid and translucent at the middle where the void at the entrance becomes part of the transparent side of the building, with parking at street level and the vestibule on the first floor. This kind of display window on the corner faces toward the void with a play of inclined lattices, like mullions that emphasize the finish of the slightly cantilevered body, slimming the glass as if it were a curtain.
In front of this body, the glass projects out like a thin skin, bringing out the lightness of the body that assumes a dynamism between the voids provoked by suspended pieces of metal and glass skins.
On the other hand, the blind side comes up against Laredo 17 and its only entrance for light are the balconies, irregularly expelled from the blind wall.
对于这个公寓大楼来说，这个想法是创造一个能尊重相邻的拉重17的轮廓和姿态的物体--也是由Archetonic设计的，它的中心空间将两个物体分开，以创建建筑物的新入口，就好像它与三个块中的一个综合程序有关。由于其稍微高的比例，新的主体将具有将被制造成盲目的线，以便框架具有空隙。为了加强这一概念，本项目的FASTMade是用PLYCEM设计的，而不是混凝土，产生更一致的色调，有利于创建一个单一的区块。由于法规原因，该版本被拒绝，因此该项目被倒置，留下与LAREDO17相邻的盲块和与其相对的玻璃侧。盲块构成正和负空间的几何形状，在入口处的空隙成为建筑物的透明侧的一部分的中间处的实心和半透明的，在街道高度处停车，并且在第一层上的前庭。这种在角落的显示窗口面向空隙，有一些倾斜的格子，像竖框，强调略微悬臂的身体的完成，把玻璃瘦身好像是窗帘一样。在这个身体的前面，玻璃像一个薄的皮肤那样突出，带来了身体的轻盈，它呈现出由悬浮的金属和玻璃皮引起的空隙之间的活力。另一方面，盲侧是靠拉重做17来的，它唯一的光入口就是阳台，不规则地从盲墙中排出。
