These towers form a sculptural vacuum between them that appear and disappear depending on if it’s being viewed from the street or the mountain’s slope.

The towers have 29 levels of apartments and 175 total housing units. There are possibilities of sizes from 47 m2 to 120 m2 with twelve different distributions and common areas and amenities that allow establishing healthy relationships and dialogue with neighbors.

For this, a solution of deep terraces per apartment was designed in order to protect the living and rest areas from intense sun, this plane game builds the structural skin of the building that establishes different spatial reading rhythms in the complex’s façade. Depending on the sun’s path the terraces change proportions, giving a structural honesty to the building’s morphology.
