Zucchero Architects, in collaboration with the Dutch textile designer Antje Paul-Kessel from iDress, has created a pristine all white scenario for these extremely colorful textiles played out in various shapes and forms. The fundamental color palette is neutral and monochromatic.
The project combines the preexistences and the urban development conditions, to interact with the users’ way of life.
City. Interaction architecture – surroundings.
On the one hand, we try to give a response to the complex surroundings by raising a building with an own geometry. A volume with different heights that takes the most advantage of solar orientation and ventilation where the game between emptinesses, hollows and interior court gets the maximum use of the space.
The residential complex tries to emphasize the equality of the houses opening them towards the sea and avoiding the frontal views between the different parts of the same volume, managing to increase the sense of space. Therefore, a sinuous floor is designed directing the view of each unit towards different points of the bay. The building is made up of two volumes different in terms of uses, volumes and aesthetics. The main one is a ground floor with six plant floors above, whereas the secondary one rises in two heights assigned to be back-to-back duplex attached houses.
