30th Stop On Juan Díaz De Solís Avenue.

The project for a collective housing in the summer seaside city of Punta del Este, Uruguay, is carried out on a piece of land with a privileged and large waterfront on the 30th stop on Juan Díaz de Solís Avenue.

Our proposal takes advantage of the possibilities offered by the piece of land with beautiful and generous views of the sea as well as its lush and long-standing vegetation. These aspects let us submit a project solution of uneven edges which mimics with the piece of land, preserves the vegetation, and offers breathtaking views of magnificent sunsets.

Apartments of varied surfaces with multiple project solutions, with splendid and wide terraces, surrounded by a green border in the perimeter which allows both, the Sea and the vegetation to enter the units. At the edge of the balconies, plants from the area complete the green circle. The undulating movement of the complex emulating the sea waves, attracts people’s attention, softens the edges, makes the complex more organic and friendly in relation to the buildings in the area.

This moving game of terraces coming in and out make the building look like foliage, thus losing the invasive scale it would otherwise have if it were made of hard and straight lines.

Beamless mezzanine level slabs and floor-to-ceiling carpentry let all the immensity of the sea and the coniferous forests get inside the units, the landscape becomes ominously present through all senses, hearing, seeing, touching, all of them present in this proposal. The high tightness of the closing systems, triple glass on all facades, as well as the recommended technological equipment turns it into a low energy-consumption building for this type of multifamily housing, widely exceeding the demands for international environmental standards.
