| LOCATION AND SURROUNDINGS:
The project's site presents an elongated shape along the street Iturrigorri which marks the north-south axis being bounded on the north by the street Armotxabidea.
The terrain has a strong slope east-west, so it is necessary to built retaining walls against the ground to tap the fund allowed buildable ground floor and basement.
The allotment is entirely urbanized fronts north, east and south, in the latter orientation highlighting the existence of a major pedestrian public space with children's play area, stays, etc.
On the Western Front it is limited by a wooded parkland rugged topography, which serves as a protective barrier against the prevailing winds.
ADEQUACY PLANNING:
The current planning regulations allows the realization of a single block of 46.5 metres x 12m = 558 m2 on the ground and six floors above ground, (6 x 558.00 m2) with a total floor area of 3348.00 m2 above ground and 30 homes as well as commercial premises.
Garage levels are allowed in the basement by increasing the depth of occupation on the ground at 5.00 m (up to 17m) in order to comply with mandatory urban envelope 1 space per dwelling.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL:
The proposal seeks to strengthen the relationship between with the residential block and the surroundings, creating a landscaped pedestrian area in the west of the building and with direct connection to the existing plaza.
The access to this area is by footpath from Iturrigorri street and allows the entry at the three portals designed, by creating a urban public space, which facilitates the exchange of staff and children stay free of hazards and inconvenience of traffic ro (noise, air, etc), so this space is treated as an area to stay and enjoy neighborhood complete with a bicycle parking area.
All homes designed to fit the Ordinances of Public Housing design, as well as the municipal ordinances of Bilbao, and the ETC and Basic Legislation in force, particularly the Law 20/1997 for the Promotion of Accessibility. Their distribution has been taken into account the readiness of the nuclei of access (stairs and elevators), creating a floor hall that allow almost total elimination of corridors and prevent various uses suporposición (day and night), kitchen and lounges with bedrooms. The double orientation East-West showing all homes allows natural ventilation of the same with energy savings.
Outdoors spaces have been set up near the rooms like balconys or terraces that are set back on the front line in order to integrate them into the overall composition of the facade. In the same way the clotheslines has been placed alongside lifts cores with the appropriate eye protection.
Commercial premises are located on the ground floor with access through ramps from Iturrigorri street, that allows access road on the lower part the garage floors. The rise in elevation that has given the ground floor makes easy the access to the first floor of parking, which has provided 15 cars and 15 in the floor -2.
The structure will be by concrete and indoors drywall panels.
For the treatment of facades we would use sandwich panels of anodized aluminum sheet combined with the same finish carpentry and stressing the terraces painted in brightly colors. The urban hall will be treated with a wood for exterior treated in the pedestrian area and landscaped gardens alongside the existing green area with treatment plants covering the retaining wall.
We propose a flat roof where would be located necessary building facilities (solar panels, machines rooms, central heating boiler etc..). |
