PROJECT APPROACH AND PROGRAM NEEDS

Logically based on the program needs of the Promoters , the action that is to almost reach the buildable colmatar allowed. Structuring tertiary use building ( office ) , you have a very representative trace and presence as it is conceived as the construction headquarters ( FERBOCAR ) that develops .

The construction arises with traditional procedures ( concrete structure on stilts HA or metal ) , to ensure correct trim level . To get a final image that is attractive and different effort has been made in the treatment of the facades that project with glass curtain walls with horizontal burner caps finished profiles like ” airplane wing ” and precast concrete panels or sandwich panels sheet steel, this results in a higher quality of design and is a harmonious and evocative .

SOLUTION DESIGNED

The project proposes an orderly , harmonious and rational. Prior to the development of the architectural scheme limits the plant of the future building with setbacks of 4.00 meters at its northern facade (towards M -506 ) , 4.50 meters on each side , east and west , and 5.70 m alienation on its facade south facade access or on Avenida de Quitapesares .

Compliments therefore amply , the setbacks established by the planning , the building is set on the ground with two almost symmetrical bodies for offices and communication hub that incorporates a sweeping staircase and two elevators.

The body of the left ( coming from Avenida de Quitapesares ) is defined as a rectangle in plan south façade is set back even further , establishing the closing plane at a distance of 11.10 meters from the outer alignment , while the body of the right , come on that , about 6.40 meters setting a setback with the alignment of 5.70 mts . This intentional ” imbalance ” is justified by not “lock ” the full extent of access to office two bodies , thus being slightly more open this space that sets the input shaft to the building principal . Furthermore, on the left side , to be more ” retranqueada architecture ” , facilitates the incorporation of a frontal glass floor illuminating the basement space and to be raised about 50 cm from the plane ” pisable ” entry , allows natural ventilation , direct , and standing in a front of about 15 meters in length, 50 cm high horizontal slats protected .

Access it is done by a main hall that the top floor is set back leaving a vacuum that integrates both levels as a ” mezzanine ” or balcony in the upper hall . This dealer hall differentiating both volumes and can allocate a wing office activities , typical of the construction , while the other may be allocated to the Group’s branches including property development business , as well as the areas of training and resources humans.

The two bodies on the ground floor along with the central reception hall that connects , defines a plant in “U ” and consume an approximate floor area of 740 m2 .

The first floor is similar , with the only difference that the landing or hallway distribution is ” shorter ” and is offered as a balcony over the main hall getting a sense of expertise that enriches the whole interior volumes . The two office areas slightly in the core and landing represent a floor area of about 650.00 m2 .

The second floor , it is only the left wing, so that the same ” Formal imbalance ” reflected ground is reached on completing titration allowed total floor . This area of offices on the third level along with the core communication and landing ground represents a floor area of about 350.00 m2 .

Finally , it should be noted that projects a utility room annex the main hall flight of stairs provides access to coverage for the care and cleaning. In this zone , which reaches the height of about 11.40 meters ( slightly less than the 11.50 meters of cornice fixed Ordinance ) provides a space for the exclusive use of the building facilities of 70 m2, not computable purposes buildability

The cover is stratified into three levels, the central tower is the tallest and serves as a proxy and the highlight of the whole, the volume on the left ( west ) office which is the shortest plant have three levels (Low + II ), and the volume on the right ( east ) which has only two levels ( Low + I) and is the most advanced body in reference to the main facade. With this titration step combines treatment that fits perfectly with materials used in facade and incorporates sustainable elements to give a green roof treatment to mating of the two office areas .

Below ground , is organizing a basement floor . It has 26 parking spaces. The garage has a whole natural ventilation ratio of 1 m2 per 200 m2 , a mechanical exhaust ventilation that guarantees at least 6 air changes / hour with a full set of detection, protection and extinction if a eventual fire.

They therefore meet all safety and regulatory requirements , existing drainage points that are more than 25 meters from an exit, and projecting highly visible open spaces and larger than those required for building evacuation in case of emergency .

In short, the building that projects have a total construction area of 3014.25 m2 . By not compute underground spaces , or the tower of facilities consumed a building area of 1744.15 m2 , almost colmatando the maximum allowed for this plot .

That is, a TOTAL BUILT AREA m2 3014.25 , 1821.15 m2 of which are above ground, and 1193.10 m2 remaining are below ground .
