RipollTizon: Social Housing

The houses in the residential complex were aggregated in three dimensions, adapting to the diversity of situations that the programme and environment required. "The aim is to give significance to the nuances and tangible scale of the domesticity and the details," state architects Pep Ripoll an Juan Miguel Tizón.

The complex respects the street alignment, adding value to the depth of the plot. The residences feature a subtle playful element, playing with the boundary walls, giving them importance or obscuring them. An interior courtyard and square organises circulation and public areas.

For the design of a hybrid program (a medical cabinet for those without papers and 5 housing units) we decided for a project that responds to the vibrancy of its surroundings by a vital architecture: Raw materials, diversity of heights, different apartment sizes for a mixity of inhabitants and a façade that reflects its surroundings by a diversity of materials.

Planned in the regulation as a city block, the organization is defined for the pre-existing building on the south and the new building, with a “U” shape plan. The definition of the interior public space is able to generate connections with the pre-existing buildings in the surrounding and to provide with attractive transition spaces. It also improves housing conditions, limited due to their social character, giving them an external space of access, meeting and gathering. Salgueiros Social Housing / AVA Architects.

The proposed building adapts by filling urban empty space, searching for an urban unit of new and old fragments, products of different moments. These fragments can never be reduced to an immediate unit, but must coexist as parallel realities. We sought to make sure that exterior facades would not simply mimic the desired unit, but would reproduce an artistic image resulting from the articulation and integration of the nearest enclosure (Lapa) and the furthest.

Commissioned by the mexican public authorities, elemental imagined in Monterrey a system of adaptable housing estates. Three-storey buildings shelter, on the ground-level, two 58m2 apartments, and, on upper floors, three 76m2 duplexes.
