Building of 20 public apartments and parking in Badalona. Competition 1st PRIZE
Based on an existing plan, the building is configured as a symmetrical block with a north-south orientation. Given the dimensions of the requested housing, an aggregation of 4 dwellings per floor in 5 levels is established.
Taking advantage of the site’s topography, the parking area is located in the semi-basement floor which at the same time gives access to the building’s lobby, allowing maximum use of the plot’s buildable area, which is entirely dedicated to living space.
The image of the building is as a unit, each of its orientations being appreciated separately.
