Housing in Avilés
Residentials
Avilés, ES - 2002
3000 m2
Completed
The social housing project assumes the construction of the entire volume defined in the detail plan, as if it were a massive stone, cut with a knife. The "image of the building" is generated by a series of requirements that have been established with almost their own will, just as the windows appear where they wanted to, which have to do with how each space relates to the outside, each dwelling is different, how different are the people who inhabit them.
The construction system was chosen in a way consistent with this idea, using pre-fabricated, industrialized panels, which lined the building in its entirety. Each house was identified with a color that is used on the exterior doorways. We like to think that when the building is inhabited, and two children are playing in the street, and one asking the other "where do you live?" - the other will respond, pointing "up there, in the blue".
