| DESIGN NAME: Collina del Faro PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential Bulding INSPIRATION: The project was inspired by the natural landscape of the intervention lot, which is located at the foot of Farol Hill and infront of the beach in the coastal city of Torres-RS, in Brazil. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Collina del Faro project was developed from the search for a dialogue between architecture and nature, bringing the natural beauties of the coastal city of Torres inside the apartments. The result was a building with a set of floors staggered in two directions, creating suspended houses that blend gently with the landscape of the Farol Hill, staying in harmony with the landscape. The interior of the apartments function as large frames for the exterior, providing a privileged view of the sea OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The project stands out for its volumetric composition that blends in with the surroundings through the staggering of the floors, fitting together with the topography of Farol hill. Also, remarkable is the quality of the apartments in the building, which, in addition to having a large private internal area, have a direct view of the city's beach, with a social space containing outdoor pools along the facade. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project is located on a beachfront lot in the coastal town of Torres, in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. The project is currently under construction. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: For the project, we chose techniques, technologies and materials common to the coast region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The structural system of reinforced concrete was used, sealing in masonry walls and external coating with tiles. In terms of materiality, we chose to use tiles in tones that are not a great contrast to nature. The balconies have large-format ceramic closures and glass that are kept in the pools serving as water containment. Making the pool an extension of the sea. Each apartment also has flowers located next to the main facade. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The project consists in a residential building located on a site of 1292m², with 6 floors.The ground floor being the foyer access and garages of the building and the other floors, apartments. The building has only 8 exclusive units, 2 per floor, with sizes ranging from 280m² to 520m². All units have 4 suites, being one a Master suite with balcony and bathtub. The social areas of the apartments are facing the sea, and are integrated with the balconies that have swimming pools.
