The proposal rethinks the concept of the skyscraper, creating a vertical village composed of thin, elegant platforms layered in a playful formation, by offering lavish outdoor spaces, breathtaking views, and meticulously composed lofts. The 4 towers sit on a podium that occupies the entire lot, with the towers rising on 35% of the surface area. All units benefit from terraces and views, some from the mountain and some from the sea, and they are placed with no relation to their size. A 150sqm apartment could exist on one of the highest floors just as an 800sqm is placed on one of the lower ones. Apartments often take form as one large surface, with glass separating interior from exterior and some plants separating a bedroom terrace from a living space’s (usually) larger terrace. the vegetation added to the terraces in order to bring nature to each apartment and reach the highest level of sustainability. the fluidity of the space as well as its relationship to greenery and the exterior are equally present in the 4 towers.
