The project is developed through 3 residential blocks organized longitudinally following the geometry of the property. They are scattered throughout the landscape, solving a residential program of 46 apartments, immersed in nature.
It seeks to maintain and enhance the heritage landscape, morphologically respecting the regulatory heights and adapting in height to the adjoining constructions of nearby country houses, which characterize the area.
The first 2 blocks are positioned freeing a patio that contains an Araucaria of heritage character, and a second patio articulates the third residential block.
The incorporation of a linear park that filters between the blocks is proposed, generating qualified green areas, trails, flowerbeds and public facilities.
In turn, the existing columns of the house are reincorporated into a "roundabout" type plaza, maintaining the symbolic character and its original language, providing new uses, shade and vegetation to the projected space: a pergola structure that refers to the Prado Rose Garden.
