Oriente 7 16 is the project of eight apartments, located in a cluttered urban environment that doesn't have a consolidated urban image. We decided to bring the inside area to life with a colorful courtyard and a fresh and sunny atmosphere. This space is the heart of this project; an area for intimate, social and flexible meetings amongst the vegetation, which filters all views, giving more privacy to the apartments.
The building is made up of two blocks, each with four levels, joined by a bridge-ladder. Each block has four apartments, one per level, of four different typologies: a one-bedroom apartment, one with a private patio, four with two bedrooms and two with a large additional terrace to enjoy the city. These terraces are the quietest areas of the whole space; ideal for being outdoors, reading, resting or hosting small parties or meetings.
A typical apartment has 65m2 plus 20m2 of terrace. It includes heights of 2.80m, large clearings, compact service areas, warm environments and color accents; we aim to maximize the size and freedom of these spaces. The terraces expand the interior spaces, and are different based on their location: the ones facing the main courtyard are larger, have more vegetation closer to the street and are emptier, and freer, towards the east.
