🇪🇨𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 𝗚𝗢𝗟𝗗𝗘𝗡 𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗭𝗭𝗜𝗡𝗜 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗 𝗡𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗘! 🎖Status: 2023 Golden Trezzini Awards Official Selection 👥Applicant(s): Taller General. Project by Martín Real and Florencia Sobrero 📋Project Name: San Tola 📍Location: Quito, Ecuador 📂Category: Best Implemented Restoration / Reconstruction Project ℹ️About the project: The depopulation in the historic center of Quito is undeniable because no housing supply meets contemporary needs. Most of the interventions in the sector are destined for tourism, generating a rotating population that lacks a sense of appropriation over the territory. The architectural proposal consists of recovering and enhancing the value of the house’s original structure. The complex is made up of eight apartments and two commercial spaces, with simple finishes that make it possible to reduce sales costs. The project focuses on the spaces of collective occupation, the central courtyard is protected by a large umbrella with a laminated timber structure and a glass roof to provide more light and warmth to the interior of the homes. In the transition from one courtyard to the other are located bicycle racks with space for one bicycle per dwelling, the rear courtyard/garden has a communal multipurpose room, a bathroom, a machine room, and a laundry room for communal use. 🥰𝙇𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙤𝙧 𝙣𝙤𝙩?
