Another great opportunity. APR’s next award Urban Design & Architecture Design Awards 2019 is open for Registration. Don’t miss the chance, its a huge platform for architects.

The Apartment Building is located in a mixed use allotment suitable for collective dwelling and single-family housing, facing one of the main avenues that leads us to the Areia Beach in Vila do Conde, an wide and long stretch of white sand, in the North coast of Portugal.

The allotment regulation allows the construction of four different floors, one of them being the basement. The lower floor was then used for car parking and storage. In the other three floors we have 12 different dwelling, 6 of them being three-bedroom apartments and the other 6 two-bedroom apartments.

The solar orientation of the main facades – North and South – forced the orientation of the bedrooms towards East and West wich provides a good solar incidence.

In the exterior, it was sought to mark the slabs trought the balconies alowing to increase the surface beyond the area of implantation allowed in the regulation of the existing allotment.
