Narrow Apartment Building
OK - This is my first real proyect web-crit so lets see how this fares out...
Project - Apartment Building Location - Lima, Peru over the Lima sea cliff... Type of Project - Residential Design Parameters - The client wants 4 duplex apartments (one over the other) thus making an 8 storey apartment building. The area is mid to high class. The client was very specific about a couple of points: No big windows, He likes balconies, He wants high ceilings, He wants a common area on the roof, He likes modern architecture but dislikes too much glass and/or steel. The location is actually quite nice the problem is that the lot IS ONLY 8.8 mts WIDE!!! and is quite deep (aprox 40mts) Design Approach - I decided to express the narrowness of the site by locating a series of planes that will enable architecture to develop. Any other elements should slide into place between those planes... (at least this was the original idea)... Tools/Programs- Sketchup so far... This is the location in google...

The semi-basement was a BIG design problem due to the narrowness of the site. The basement practically determined the location of everything (it usually does...)

Also I think the beams can span the whole distance (the 8.8mts) and given the high floor to floor, the depth will not be a ploblem...

I will follow your thread with interest regarding the short dimension of your street elevation. Will trace the japanese way to adapt to short sites ?

Reminds me of the Anter building by Max Borges.
I would like to see your idea scheme the interior layout. I do not see the balconies the customer is asking for, or the balconies should be larger. The roof common area should be given more importance, a larger roofed area with a larger roof that gives character to the building should be considered.

Yes the balconies are small but (I think) that when he refered to balconies he refered to the typical colonial wood balconies (which are quite small)... (the balconies are those protruding boxes in the volume to the right...) I am sure this proyect could be much more interesting but I need imparcial feedback. Here at my office everybody says that it is beautiful (of course... I am their boss....)... I feel I really need crits... |

The other problem I have is that I have to put the circulation core up front and since it has to go all the way to the roof, It collaborates too much with the height making a taller (to the left) tower....
