ECOFFICESLima - Peru
Located on Benavides Avenue, Miraflores district, our proposal offers a 10 diviable floors high-rise of offices, where the last floor and rooftop are dedicated to common activities like restaurant, gym, garden and swimming-pool.For this project we have combined Parametric software with eco design to achieve an optimal location of solar panels that will make the building an auto-sustentable proposal. Those panels are part of the skin that define the caracter of the proposal and at the same time will bring an energetical solution for it’s enviroment.
SKY CONDOS
Lima - Peru
Located in a privileged area in the city of Lima with views towards the golf course, we wanted to create an icon for the future in their design for a new luxury housing concept in Latin America. We’d combined the idea of incorporating the exterior space to the interior life of the apartments and creating a new relation between public and private areas We wanted to get away from the traditional tower; instead of piling up a series of identical apartments, we created three types that adjust to different necessities; each one with a clear individuality using the privative exterior spaces as our main core. We believe that an apartment shouldn’t lack exterior spaces; this is why our main space in each apartment is the exterior public area which contains the pool and a series of terraces that bring dynamism to the whole tower. These terraces fill the apartment with natural light and create a game of lights and shadows.
NECRO CAPS
Mexico - DF
VERTICAL NECROPOLIS The very first challenge in designing the vertical necropolis has been the way we face the issue of death in relation with life, from the Latin American point of view. Therefore some parameters seemed much important in the design process. Facing the issue of death, in a less serious and formal manner, is one of the most important concepts of this design. The coffins have been randomly located across the space so as to remind a bunch of hovering balloons scattered humorously in the air. The suspension of coffins throughout the space mingles the set of living with dead.
D4 PROJECT
Dublin - Ireland
D4 is a new mixed use quarter in anelegant Victorian suburb of Dublin.The 3 hectare/ 7 acre is situated onLansdowne Road close to the Aviva nationalfootball stadium. There are 563spacious luxury apartments in the development,each with an average floorarea of 131 Sqm. 90% of the units aredual aspect with generous terraces andwinter-gardens.Lansdowne Road will again becomean important civic, even processionalroute to the new Aviva Stadium, a routewhich will be further enhanced withlinkages to a new pedestrian precinctalong the western and southern edgesof theD4 development site. This routewill be defined by 5 pavilion buildingsarranged as a series of sentinels alongthe way.
RANK SILOS
Limerick - Ireland
The Rank Silo overlooking the docks in Limerick city is one of the last surviving structures of Shannon Mills, once one of the largest flour-milling complexes in these islands. The purpose of the competition was to create a body of ideas about how the Ranks Silo might approach its next phase of life. Our proposals include an sport center to integrate the student comunity to the use of the silos. Preservation/ conservation, functional proposal and urban integration was the objetive on the design. The principal aim is to re-imagine the building and its immediate surrounding environment in an innovative and exciting way. Ideas on the future use of the Silo had to take cognisance of the fact that the port is to remain a working port and any potential future use of the Silo must take this fact into consideration.
HYPERLOOP Desert Campus - Nevada U.S.A
In the heart of the Nevada desert, a few kilometers away from Las Vegas, the first test center of Hyperloop the futuristic means of transport that will connect cities and nations at a muchhigher speed than planes.
This technology has needed the desert’s spaces and isolation to grow and consolidate, but has advanced to the point that it requires a more-advanced testing and study center.
Hyperloop Desert Campus will be one of the most important experimentation and research centers in the world, because the symbolic value of the new architecture will be as important as its efficiency.
