LOCATION
The design concerns a residential complex in a housing area that has
been constructed in the mid 1960s. It is surrounded by 5-storey apartment
building of the first generation of industrialized prefab housing
blocks. These buildings are to be demolished in about 10 to 15 years,
but for now still dictate the building envelope for the new complex.
The complex should consists of two towers of 18-26 floors with a floor
area of 550-800 sqm, connected by a block of 3 floors height. Dimensions
of the building should not exceed the limits indicated on the drawing.
PROGRAM
The apartments should have the following sizes:
2-room flats 70-85 sqm 20-30 %
3-room flats 100-115 sqm 35-45 %
4 room flats 130-150 sqm 25-35 %
penthouses 110-180 sqm 5 %
It should be possible to combine smaller flats in order to make large
apartments of 180-210 sqm.
Floor-to-ceiling heights in the apartments should be 3.30m, in the
penthouses 3.30-6.00 m., in the lobby 4,20 m
Contemporary design solutions are welcomed in the design of the apartments.
Glazed facades, bay windows, bathrooms with natural light, glazed
loggias (minimum 7,5 sqm) and fireplaces (not in 2-room apartments).
The penthouses could also feature roof lights, voids, or winter gardens.
On the first floors the complex should include a large lobby and public
functions such as a beauty salon and a health centre. Parking facilities
are located in two to three underground floors.
The building should comply with the current norms concerning hygiene,
environment and fire safety rules, including accessibility for invalids.
The client expects a design that is rational and contemporary in both
its architecture and its layout. The complex should be architecturally
and commercially appealing, whereas building costs should be reasonable.
