Celesta | Eskema Arquitectos

In this lot three rectangular and curved shape towers were designed, linearly organized with the amenities are on the west and ground level parking. The buildings are deployed on three platforms with a difference between them of half level to take advantage of the natural grade of the land.

The front and back façades were designed in solid and tucked strips and windows that emphasize the horizontality of the buildings, the solid strips are white and the tucked ones are gray avoiding monotony. The east-west orientation of the apartments was defined from the sowing of the buildings on the land, providing the necessary sunlight for a residential space. The interior of the apartments seek to take advantage of this orientation by improving the relationship among the exterior, the views and the natural light, with the living spaces.

Also in the first level are several common areas, two pedestrian access bridges in the 1 and 2 towers that allow direct pedestrian traffic from the outside without passing through the parking area and in the lobbies the Home Office zone is located providing optimal spaces those who prefer to work from home, as well as the elevators and stairs core.
