Design Details

Unique Properties
The 135 Jardins Project was conceived with the premise of building an iconic residential and commercial development - to be considered a landmark among so many buildings already built. Its basic volume was designed to be a prism, in which the apartment tower interconnects with its base and retail area; with this positioning to differentiate itself from competitors in the market.
Inspiration
Inspired the design of the project so that it presented a conceptual strong solution, thus standing out among so many pre-existing buildings in the urban fabric. A pure and monolithic form was inspired by the classic of modernist architecture.
Research
The process of creating this project was based on modernist concepts and on all luxury and glamor that large hotels offer. In addition, the search for a timeless and asymmetric design, traced the direction of the project's conception. Data collection was developed by searching for references in architectural classics and the prismatic relationship of the right angle. There is always a concern with the insertion in the city and the relationship with pedestrians.
Challenge
The research has always been based on modern design, where the user is part of the process, even after the construction of the building. We seek in the conceptual bases of participatory design, the premises for the creation of this project, allied in the technological bases and in the thought of the relationship of this project with the future.
Realization and Technology
Concrete, Glass, Mobile Windshield, Galvanized Steel, ACM Aluminum Composite Material, LED Light.
Operation and Interaction
135 Jardisn, a project for people to live as if they were in a luxury hotel, close to the sea and with a large and complex leisure area integrated with lots of vegetation and open spaces.
