Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] Building designed to house a real estate company, with an extensive needs program. The site of 300m2 had limitations of height so we chose the alternative of projecting the building growing down. Access by street level is an intermediate level of the building.
The real estate company, which makes use of the city to be able to exist, intends to be completely open to the city creating a free space with the sidewalk.
All places are visible. It was designed as a building without excesses, with the maximum objectivity to reduce both the necessary investment and the time of construction.
In the underground, with double-legged stretch, the programs of a greater concentration of people were sheltered. The access from the street is the intermediate level, housing the reception and a small real estate financing agency. In the upper, we have the administrative sector.
Openings with adequate sizes and positions guarantee natural light in most of the building.
