The design is located in Puebla de Fantova and features a tower that stands out in its landscape. It serves as a new landmark while engaging with existing elements in the area. The design centers around functionality with a free floor plan organized around a central service core. This setup promotes a flow of movement throughout the spaces and allows for a variety of uses.

Design Concept

The tower presents a solid exterior with perforations that create a balance between solid forms and empty spaces. These voids offer visual interest and allow natural light to enter, enhancing the experience inside. Terraces and double-height areas add complexity to the design, drawing inspiration from the organic shapes often associated with Gaudí. The use of color is also significant, contributing to the identity of the building.

Materiality

The building is constructed with thoughtful material choices. The perimeter wall consists of a 20 cm cellular block wall finished with plaster, backed by an equipped wall that measures 40 cm. Colorful voids are filled with glass that allows light to filter in while adding a visual element. The structural framework includes slabs, beams, and reinforced concrete pillars, ensuring stability. Perimeter pillars have setbacks, contributing to a slender appearance from different angles.

Programmatic Elements

Various spaces within the tower are identified by color, which reflects their specific functions. Green areas represent hostels, promoting a sense of calm. Blue zones are designated for coworking, encouraging energy and productivity. Residences are marked by purple, focusing on comfort and well-being. These color choices work with the arrangement of free floor plans, which enhance the sense of openness and connectivity.

Microperforated steel panels are used to control the entry of light, providing both illumination and privacy. This careful attention to detail in the design further establishes a strong architectural identity while enhancing the overall user experience. The interplay of elements throughout the tower creates a distinctive environment that responds to both the setting and its intended purpose.
