DESIGN NAME: Lumi
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential Building
INSPIRATION: LUMI's project was inspired by park trees across the street, seeking a dialogue with its surroundings through a constant game of lights and shadows, which resulted in a clean and contemporary architecture.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Horizontal plans define LUMI's residential floors, which alternate in different sizes and shapes, forming social spaces, providing a sense of continuity between interior and exterior, generating a vertical villa with all its peculiarities. These plans also function as brises-soleils, shading the facade.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The horizontal plans that distinguish LUMI building form social spaces and create continuity between the interior and exterior perception, transforming the rooms into fluid spaces opened to the landscape. Large and transparent terraces surround LUMI's two main faces, trying to convey the feeling of living in a house. Its wide windows ensure that the surroundings are bathed in natural light so residents feel the warmth of the sun while enjoying the view of the park in comfort terraces.
