Tower^2

The main idea for the building is the repetition of a tower-like volume, which from a “standing position” goes to a horizontal one. The two volumes placed on the site are connected with a metallic structure, which runs through them and encloses the main movement pillars. Another metallic structure runs on the opposite site of the plot, on a lower level, carrying a cafe with access to the central yard. The secluded space in the middle is accessible via passages formed under the metallic structures and the horizontal volume. Due to the -almost perfect-square shape of the plot, we decided to incorporate the square shape on the whole of our proposal. The tower’s plan dimensions are 8,5 X 8,5m, same as the horizontal volume’s front and back elevation.
