The (beach) is near

(Sport) for healthy living

(green) free areas

(First proposal) Trying to integrate new ways of living, sport, green areas and comunal spaces into the building.

(climbing wall) the building should be able to introduce these new aspects in its inhabitants life. The climbing wall as an image for the 21st century, potenciating the communal spaces.

(communal areas) Shared spaces could integrate the chimney and intensify social life.

Adaption to its surrounding by linear direction and hight.

(Axonometric view) norh facade

Free exterior space The south facade being more open provides views to the sea and the free space. This could be used as a main acces.

(north elevation) less openings to the north and the street. Direct relation between the new building and the existing chimney creates social spaces.

(examples for cross sections) The L-SHAPED living units create various kinds of free spaces which can be used as communal areas for the inhabitants.

(typical floor plan / private units)

(Typical unit plan) All the L-SHAPED apartments have 48 sqm. The firs floor includes the kitchen, and can be opened to the shared areas. The second floor provides a private area to be used individually.

(Typical unit section) By combination of the L-SHAPED units, circulation is only needed on every second floor. The circulation space can be used as shared area as well.

(perspective view) The perspective from the street reflects the inner spaces, and shows a new form of community living. The sport center and the climbing wall links all the spaces creating social exchange.
