The recently renovated Mackenna square, located in the Saavedra neighborhood, was chosen as the location for this building. A context contained by the surrounding constructions around it, and a dense vegetation interrupted in front of the plot for the building.

We assumed the role that this neighborhood scene proposes and we decided to take its atmosphere as a structuring condition for the project. A central patio decompress the separation between the rear and front blocks, while organizing the entrance to the apartments through a open circulation which extends until the door of each unit. There are 9 apartments and 3 studios distributed in both blocks, configuring the program.

This apartments try to continue with the tradition established by the houses that traditionally defined the character of the neighborhood, by grouping today in the same plot as a consequence of the densification inside the city. In this way, each unit was designed as a small house which adds to its program a generous expansion, allowing for open air activities in the same way they happen at the square in front of them.

This is a nice design. In Germany we have many restrictions that are disturbing free design like this in many urban places.
Some variety over the standard boring apartment block is much appreciated and it seems very well executed! Especially considering the width of the apartments seems under 3.5m.
The inner courtyard looks beautiful and it will probably also function as some sort of meeting place for all the people that live there.
The gardens at the back look unatractive though and there are some privacy issues with the duplex apartments that are above.
Great projet. Simple design and good use of materials and colors
