The design proposes adding a block to the urban block edge, extending the street space and creating a tree-lined open inner courtyard. At the same time, the large volumes are structured using compositional strategies to mitigate their urban impact, despite utilizing the maximum possible building volume.

In the same way, the façades are designed with two well-differentiated faces towards the urban space. The first face, directed outward, engages with the city in a balanced and powerful manner. It is further differentiated to respond to its specific context. The north façade features a hard shell with vertical openings, creating an urban counterpart to the neighboring buildings, while the west façade addresses the unique location facing the railway line with a flexible double layer to ensure sound insulation.

The second face looks inward toward the perimeter block’s interior, focusing on its connection with the park and gardens. It expresses a quieter, more welcoming character, integrating with the surrounding vegetation. The south façade is further distinguished by continuous cantilevered terraces and loggias, while the east façade features individual balconies overlooking the shared inner courtyard.

The design embraces its surroundings while simultaneously redefining them; it responds sensitively to the location and its conditions, considering both the comfort of its residents and the need for precise and sustainable use of resources.

Special attention is given to the urban corner, where the first two floors follow the site's boundary to enclose the street space, while the upper floors step back, creating an opening toward the inner courtyard and introducing a new spatial structure. This new corner becomes a recognizable and significant urban space.

The large volume facing the railway line is fragmented into three horizontal layers that structure the building, reduce its impact on the urban landscape, and create a fluid and dynamic appearance.

In the inner courtyard, the residential units are consolidated into a single volume (eliminating the T-shaped transverse buildings) to create a more open park space. The ground floor houses a daycare center, which unfolds like a flower, ensuring spatial continuity and fluidity. This design establishes a hierarchy of private, semi-private, and public areas, generating niches filled with life by children and local residents. The large covered area on the ground floor also serves as a waiting area for parents, a sheltered play area during bad weather, and a spatial connector.

Few materials are used in the buildings, which, when appropriately combined, produce a diverse and dynamic result. Wood, polycarbonate, steel, glass, and vegetation fundamental elements of the architectural ensemble are carefully integrated.

Regarding the flats, we have opted for typological diversity, recognizing the initial conditions of the competition. A range of flat types, from one-room apartments to maisonettes, are offered to flexibly respond to the needs of residents. The layout of the flats will be developed based on their orientation and visual relationships to ensure optimal living conditions, considering the given technical and spatial constraints and utilizing high-quality materials.The proposed design ensures that all flats are directly connected to the vertical access cores to avoid corridors.

The concept of sustainability, as we have interpreted it in our design, goes beyond material conditions it also encompasses lifestyles and interpersonal relationships, both inside and outside the dwellings. Social connections, the diversity of lifestyles, and the use of passive resources are the foundation of our proposal, which fully respects the existing site conditions. "Grouping" and "community" refer to relational spaces with inherent potential for change and transformation.

The maisonettes are located on the lower floors, with direct access to private gardens. The top floor flats will have vertical access to private rooftop terraces. All flats are barrier-free, and all (except for the maisonettes) can be retrofitted to be fully accessible.

The interiors of the flats address the long-standing but unresolved theme of flexibility and adaptability. Communal areas kitchen, dining room, and living room are integrated into an open-plan layout. Whenever possible, each flat includes a private outdoor space. Ultimately, the flats allow residents to shape the space according to their needs, whether more open or more technological, but always comfortable and functional.
