Production Technology
The building was designed looking for several aspects of innovation and differences. The building was entirely built in concrete, the construction did not use any bricks. All slabs are flat and precisely leveled and then polished with a series of diamond discs. Leaving the polished concrete as the final floor, we reduced weight and obtained a more natural material. The walls also have the same concept, all made of concrete. We created a unique coating, perhaps the first of its kind applied to a residential building, the "Gabião". Executed by hand, as if it were a film applied to the concrete walls and supported by fixed fences, these textures relate to the stone base of the neighboring historic building, as they have the same height and proportion.
Design Challenge
The site for the project presented some environmental barriers, which had to be overcome for its construction. Due to the proximity of Farol hill and the fragmentation of the Basalt rock, great technical care was required to break the rock and make construction viable. Proposing living spaces that allow the true experience of "being" on the beach and using an unusual construction methodology were the great challenge.
Project Duration
The project is located in the coastal city of Torres, in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. The project is already completed.
Operation Flow
Volumetrically, the building is marked by a horizontality that is interrupted in some points by vertical plans of exposed concrete or covered in corten steel porcelain tiles. The development is characterized by its materiality in an industrial style, marked by large panels of exposed concrete. The concept is a project that contemplates outdoor life.
Research
The ideia emerged at a time when emerging markets were experiencing economic stability, faced with a pandemic never seen before. Investors were divided into braking investments and investing in niches that improve quality of life. Motivated by the moment and with the opportunity of one of the only sites available in Prainha in Torres, just a few steps from the sea, we decided to develop a unique project that integrates quality of life, nature and exclusivity. By opting for smaller units in studios format, with all the infrastructure added to the condominium areas, it was possible to give status to the project without losing the naturalness of the location.
Inspiration
The building sought inspiration from the lifestyle of the city of Torres. A city that has nature as its protagonist, combined with comfort and refinement. The Project is located in one of the main points of the city. Just one square from the sea, the development has incredible views from all points, which allows residents to connect with nature and the beach lifestyle at all times. The development has unique characteristics such as coverings produced just for it, and condominial spaces such as surfboard storage and an ice machine. Everything to reinforce the connection with the beach, but without leaving luxury and comfort.
