EDIFICIO BRITS

This 83-unit residential building explores a micro-urban structure that articulates landscape and architecture in a spatial organization that anchors and orchestrates the multiple forces acting upon the development process over time.

Formally, the building distorts the sense of front and back. Resampling the metrics of the municipal urban fabric on top of a semi-sunken plinth, the project resolves a large, deep, sloped plot and provides good solar exposure, privacy, and views for all apartments.

The project’s ground floor is laid out in rings around an infrastructural garden that, beyond supporting leisure activities, manages climate-change events and features local flora to promote the reconstitution of regional ecologies. Facing this central garden, a covered pedestrian ring provides access to all towers and amenities, fostering the building’s collective life.
