PAR project2

The project is developed along the surrounding streets, and is articulated around the pedestrian accesses. The intention is to provide affordable residential units in an envelop reflecting international level of quality. The facades are treated with a lot of details, recesses and offsets, providing a large diversity of shapes, when the inside is standardized with typical apartments units.

The commercial units are placed on the Ground Floor for easy access of the Public. This commercial part is reduced to a minimum at this stage (715m2 for Palace 1 and 320m2 for Palace 2) but the design allows for a large flexibility in placing “Lofts” on the rest of the Ground Floor, which can be used either as residential or as commercial. The calculation of the required parking bays also accommodates for such flexibility.

The First Floor is essentially consisting of mezzanines and a few small apartments.The Second Floor is a typical lay-out including various sizes of apartments: studios, 1,2 and 3 bedrooms. All apartments are designed with double exposure and cross ventilation to accommodate local climatic condition. All common circulations are semi-external, and most of the apartments include balconies or terraces.
Finally, the common architectural theme, while unifying the buildings of the scheme, is developed to ensure environmental integration, corporate identification and working environment quality.
