Located in Príncipe de Vergara, this is a new residential building composed of high-level apartments, an automated garage, commercial premises and common areas such as a gym and a solarium pool on the roof.
It was constructed on a site located on a semi-corner with Diego de León Street, of small size and 10 m street frontage. The building was designed with 8 floors above ground level, the last one in a setback attic, resolving 13 apartments in 1, 2 and 3 bedroom configuration, including a penthouse with a terrace on the top floor.
Below ground level, a robotized parking garage has been designed on 4 levels with a capacity for 46 parking spaces.
All the apartments in this project have an exterior façade that maintains the configuration of large vertical openings, 2.6 x 1.1 m, typical of the Barrio de Salamanca , in a sober language where the quality of the materials and construction solutions are of the utmost importance.
Inside, the project resolves an interior courtyard in continuity with that of the adjoining property, generating a large open space to which bedrooms overlook. The roof becomes the main space for the common areas, with an 8-meter infinity pool and a solarium. It is complemented by a fitness room with a wet area in which a sauna is integrated.
The façade is clad in Campaspero stone, with a pronounced vertical quartering that emphasizes the slender proportions of the whole. It also connects the ridge lines of the adjoining properties through a classic tripartite composition that marks the base line and the top of the set.
The project's sectional solution has made it possible to create a ground floor with a free height of 5m. This recreates the scale of the original access to the estates in the Salamanca neighborhood, with a contemporary language in which the wooden ceilings and stone cladding, such as that of the façade, provide the desired residential character.
The centralization of the thermal production and ventilation, together with the domotic control of the sun protection in the openings and the integrated robotized parking system provide the highest level of facilities to the complex.
