SIGNIFICANT SECTION

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
SOSTENIBILITÀ AMBIENTALE:

 

Functional mixitè – Mix funzionale
Building is designed in the highest local standard for energy consumption, using only recycled and neutral carbon materials to produce energy for heating and hot water

Common spaces and shared living – Spazi comuni e abitare condiviso
Common garden, children playground, swimming pool.

Techniques and strategies for environmental saving: 
This design reinterpreted traditional and popular architecture as a tool to create a new façade and image of the city while achieving an European standard NZEB net-zero energy building.
Using the official standards and tools in force today, it is proposed to achieve an A Energy rating through the inclusion of centralized biomass boilers.
The proposed façade is conceived as a several layers envelope that optimizes energy loss, in which the presence of thermal bridges is minimized, allowing lower energy consumption.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

 

EXPLORING THE DAY-TO-DAY ORDINARY ARCHITECTURE

Once modern society standards have been reached , there is a real need in developing new quality levels, including space, constructive materials and the way housing can improve. These new standards are not only demanded by industry or clients, but also regulations. For us, being able of generating accurate proposals for new social challenges is a priority way of approaching our aims. This project is an exploration of the day-to-day social evolution and the new family typologies.

In this case, a newly created area for Alcalá needs a set of local identities. The way to address these urban opportunities must be able to generate a specific identity towards the surroundings, providing a contemporary cultural environment to the city.

URBAN

pursuit of non environmental and esthetic aggression

To achieve an environment-adapted proposal, this building can evolve during its life-time, according to its inner activity. It is compulsory to design according to ongoing social challenges. In this case, a new urban development need to gain some own local identity in Alcalá, where the project would contribute to the city, adding contemporary and cultural values.

Thanks to the use of some architectural tools, such as terraces, louvered shutters, sunshades, patios, or native vegetation, we achieve an efficient and adaptable architectural ensemble.

By a textile double skin, generated by the use of sunshades in the south façade, terraces are placed between the outside spaces and the housing. In this way, the apartments get a domestic space that varies according to the natural seasons.

In the inside façades, as a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional windows, there are vertical holes protected by ventilated shutters, allowing an appropriate sun protection during summer, and creating a thermic buffer zone in winter.

HOUSING

crossed lifes

The building lays on the exterior curved façade of the planning by flying the concrete terrace slabs towards the outside. At the same time if folds towards the interior to properly solve the corner at its key points. Living rooms and kitchens are mainly located outside, taking advantage of the sunlight conditions and being tempered by the awning façade and the terraces. On the other hand, bedrooms are placed in the opposite orientation, isolating themselves from the exterior urban space.

On the ground floor, housing is inverted, placing the living rooms towards the interior, taking advantage of the common garden and the interior vegetation view, protecting themselves from the street through a respectful distance and a lattice metal wall.
