Menjarosa by Dooa Arquitecturas. A simple elegant apartment building. This apartment block in the Naebalsan-dong district of Seoul, aims to redefine the quality of housing in a city where much of it is nondescript.
The block is designed by Office For Beyond Boundaries Architecture, (OBBA) who took time and trouble to understand their task with thorough analysis of the district, before finding disarmingly simple design solutions.

Arquitectura: dupla portuguesa distinguida com Badel Block. O júri do prémio internacional Badel Block estava plenamente convencido de que o grande vencedor do desafio lançado pela autarquia de Zagreb seria um projecto croata. É que nenhum dos outros concorrentes internacionais poderia conhecer tão bem como eles as necessidades do quarteirão que os concorrentes tinham de requalificar.

Ao P3, um dos arquitectos da dupla Pablo Pita confidenciou que apresentaram o projecto vencedor sem sequer conhecerem pessoalmente o quarteirão para o qual estavam a desenhar. “Infelizmente não conseguimos ir ao terreno antes de projectar, mas fizemos um estudo intensivo da área para perceber o que podia funcionar”, contou Pablo Rebelo, arquitecto de 28 anos.
