About Living the Gardens Complesso di ville
Living the Gardens è un complesso residenziale di nove ville a Cancún, in Messico, realizzato su un lotto di 2.373 metri quadrati. Ogni villa si sviluppa su tre livelli e occupa da 216 a 275 metri quadrati. Il piano terra ospita soggiorno, sala da pranzo, cucina, terrazza, bagno di servizio e un giardino interno. Il piano superiore accoglie una camera padronale e due camere secondarie. Ogni villa dispone inoltre di un roof garden. L'impiego di materiali locali e di una progettazione bioclimatica passiva riduce i consumi energetici, mentre i frangisole in legno e la vegetazione autoctona garantiscono la protezione solare.

- Production Technology
- The project is entirely built with local materials because, more than an economic benefit, it reduces the environmental impacts of transporting materials long distances and supports the local economy.
- Design Challenge
- The structural challenge was to avoid structural support elements on the ground floor. The structure was solved in a way that the rooftop carries the intermediate slab with columns that, work in tension instead of compression, just like the tensioners in a steel structure. In other words, the ground floor roof is hanging from the rooftop. Imitating a steel structure, the slabs function as the lower and upper chord, the lateral columns function as tensioners and the block walls work as diagonals
- Research
- The first step to obtain a sustainable housing product is to make a climate analysis and to search and apply the best bioclimatic and sustainable strategies for the project. In the region, the climate is warm and humid, and due to these characteristics, the project implements solar protection, natural cross-ventilation and use of native vegetation. The application of these and other strategies make a sustainable and low energy consumption housing product.
- Inspiration
- The project aims to promote the reduction of the use of resources, economic savings and a more sustainable housing product through passive and bioclimatic design.
- Project Duration
- The project started in 2021 in Cancun, Mexico and is planned to be finished in 2023.
- Operation Flow
- Solar protection is a requirement to obtain a more energy effective dwelling in most climates, but in a hot climate like the one where Living The Gardens is built, it is essential. The project is protected from solar incidence with native vegetation, the volumetry of the building itself and wooden louvers located in the south facade, where the solar incidence is more intense.
