Text description provided by the architects. Gamarra 1245 comes as an architectural response to two different searches by the project team: on the one hand, the integration of a medium-scale building volume in an immediate environment that is heterogeneous in itself, in terms of its density; and on the other hand the will to produce in the same volume a contemporary architectural reading but fundamentally of spatial quality. Located on a piece of land with irregular dimensions of 8.66 meters in front, the building complex is made up of 18 flats and large common spaces for their collective use. Product of the typological diversity of the neighborhood, the main protagonist is the intentional void, trying to achieve the best orientations for sunlight and the generation of long visuals. The design synthesis comprises the generation of two solid volumes linked by a slit that regulates public spaces for circulation and windows of the units—consisting of a neutral and pure facade facing the city in front. The order of a regulated staggering in order to profitably capture the sunlight from the East and North orientations is the main protagonist on its rear façade.
