More than just housing, the 496 Building is an idea that reflects our vision of contemporary and adaptable life, designed to adapt to the needs of families and create new dynamics for urban lifestyle. We seek to create spaces that enhance everyday experiences and individual emotions, a place where every corner has meaning and offers comfort.
The 496 Building was born out of the desire for careful integration with the surroundings and the creation of spaces that promote a balance between the built environment and nature. Located parallel to the national road, the building releases a significant part of the land to create a large green area to support collective housing. This integration enhances not only the connection between residents, but also their relationship with nature and the public space.
In this project, we paid attention to detail, such as the solar orientation that optimizes natural light, providing warm and comfortable environments. The semi-underground garage allows a fluid connection between the surrounding streets, keeping the focus on the pedestrian and promoting a friendlier and accessible urban environment.
The 496 Building is an architectural manifesto, a proposal for the evolution of cities and ways of living, which seeks to solve the challenges of land occupation, and the creation of urban spaces designed for people. It is an idea that proposes to harmonize urban living, offering spaces that evolve and adapt, promoting the community and the well-being of its residents.
