VITA

15 apartment building in front of Genil River of Granada

Located on the slopes of Bola de Oro, with privileged views of the Paseo de la Fuente de la Bicha, Residencial Vita redefines the relationship between architecture and landscape in the southern area of Granada. Its strategic placement on the terrain takes advantage of the natural slope to create a balanced volumetry, maximizing views and enhancing the dialogue with the surroundings.

The building, consisting of three above-ground floors and a basement, houses 15 multifamily residences designed to optimize orientation, natural light, and cross ventilation. The connection between the different levels is structured through two external vertical circulation cores, which organize movement and provide access via open galleries. This solution not only enhances the overall functionality but also promotes visual permeability and integration with the surrounding landscape.

Project year: 2021

Construction Years2023-2024

Gross Area 2.723 m2

Location Paseo Fuente de la Bicha, Granada

Proyect concepts

The project has been made to develop a building that responds in a balanced way to the requirements of each façade and at the same time gives an appropriate image to its position with respect to the city.

Landscape relationship

The north façade opens onto the Genil River, framing the breathtaking views of the Sierra Nevada through a system of stacked terraces, conceived as autonomous volumes that fragment and enhance the perception of the elevation.

Solar lattice

In contrast, the south façade, facing the new pedestrian street, is defined by a continuous lattice that filters the light and protects the access galleries. Here, all communication cores and common areas are arranged as open galleries.

Accessibility and Topographic Adaptation

The natural slope of the plot has been a key factor in the organization of the building. At its southeastern end, where the elevation difference is more pronounced, vehicular access has been arranged via a lifting platform that connects Plaza Puntal de Vacares with the underground parking level. This solution efficiently addresses mobility within the complex, ensuring both accessibility and functionality.

Cross ventilation

The dwelling design has tried to be the more flexible as possible, emphasizing the crossing ventilation through the indoor patios. The spaces that are generated try to be as flexible as possible, generating a diversity of typologies.

The north façade opens onto the Genil River, framing the breathtaking views of the Sierra Nevada through a system of stacked terraces, conceived as autonomous volumes that fragment and enhance the perception of the elevation. These “boxes,” clad in wood, create a play of light and shadow that enhances the building’s expressiveness, adding warmth and texture to the composition.

In contrast, the south façade, facing the new pedestrian street, is defined by a continuous lattice that filters light and protects the access galleries. Beyond its bioclimatic function, this element provides a unifying character to the complex and enhances the privacy of the residences without compromising their connection to the exterior.
