Best social housing community design for Global Awards shortlisted

LONDON: The shortlist for the best social housing community design has been declared.

Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.

The plot owned by IBAVI has a rectangular shape with an approximate area of 3,266 m2. The proposed proposal attends to two fundamental aspects, the correct insertion of the building in the urban and physical environment as well as a solution that is a synthesis of the functional aspects of the program. The program proposed by the Balearic Housing Institute (IBAVI) consists of Parking in response to municipal regulations that is located underground and the 54 housing are located distributed by 18 flats by floor on the ground floor and two floors. In the interior space there is a common relationship space for users. The building is organized by a north-south axis that gives rise to the location of two independent volumes, creating a public space between them.

The Global Award winner will be announced next November in London. (Globals)
