This includes everything from form, distance, surfaces, materials and aesthetics to steel profiles, concrete beams and columns. Because of the urban location of the project, we have had to contend with very strict urban regulations. This has in turn resulted in a challenging proposal in terms of the architecture and structure of the building. The main issues concerned avoiding a pyramid style building and creating a realistic and aesthetically luxurious apartment building. Each new level must decrease in surface area, regardless of ventilation and heating requirements, or comfort based additions such as patios or sunlights. Balancing all these factors proved to be a challenging task structurally.
