20 Dwellings - exterior

This 6-story, 20 multi-family units allows mixed used where 3 floors are for commercial, an underground level for 31 parking spaces and 20 storage rooms.

During the day, a bright facade can be seen with rich dynamic volumes and colors and shadows whereas at night, the dimmed light makes the building feel like a lighting box. The facade is composed of a thin, perforated skin, almost a translucent veil that functions as a sunscreen and also as a visual filter to provide privacy for the inside occupants.

The units have a centralized core allowing the occupants to relate with the facade composition. The sliding system is applied throughout the entire facade where the shutter is replaced by perforated metal panels to the sliding interior partitions that are integrated into the Krona walls. 400 panels of perforated aluminium sheet in anodized matte silver make up the second skin of the building that creates porosity.
