Orion Park gathers living and working spaces

In recent years, the study m | Sg | S | S | V projected several residential buildings for GCH (Chomer Group). Now, the developer raised a new challenge with the commission of a building with a Mixed Uses Program In the brand new innovation park.

Orion Park reflects the spirit that embodies that brand new urban development pole in Núñez, which seeks to enhance the activity of entrepreneurs, students and researchers combining housing with work spaces; leisure and commercial uses, and favoring the location of public and private institutions.

With an image that assumes the Interior functional complexityOrion Parque will stand out at the auction of Av. Alcorta and Udaondo, just in front of the River court. It will occupy a plot of 1367.35 m2, the last land sold by the city government.

The project team led by Arch. Damián Vinson, partner of M | Sg | S | S | V, gives the final stitches to the design of the mixed use building, of some 15,000 m2 of area Total, which is already marketed from the well.

The third project of the study in that sector of the city – along with the ITBA headquarters and another offices building – will allocate a percentage of its surface to Professional studies And another will be for housing. In addition, there will be shops on the ground floor.

“Orion Park somehow reflects the character of the innovation park with a program that has a balance between residence and small office or professional suitable. We intend to generate an internal and exterior image that assumes this functional complexity,” explains Vinson.

In that sense, the Facade materiality Explore the possibilities of glass and concrete in a continuity relationship. Together with the advisors, the authors are developing the details of “an amalgamated and continuous skin” capable of compromising between these two uses.

Establish an organization in the plant that takes the Diagonal address of the plot It was a bold commitment of the designers that derives from the understanding of the site and the program, and nothing is formal.

The first justification is to ensure The best orientation and views For all units. The masterplan raises plots of relatively small surface, where the constructions will be close and confronted with each other. Then the designers interpreted which would be the best views in the context of the tight plot grid that the park has.

Thus, in the plant a north-south direction is marked where the units avoid the view perpendicular to the River stadium that is right in front and, instead, they win direct visuals to the river. While, on the other side, to the north, the internal square that sponge the park guarantees the opening of long views. The same strategy is achieved in the perpendicular direction, the east-west axis.

“We are looking for these views chosen because when the neighbors are, the visual opportunity will be exhausted. Something similar to what we proposed in How much Bellininear there, where residential towers are turned with respect to Libertador Avenue, ”compares Vinson.

In turn, the arrangement at 45 degrees gives the opportunity to obtain different depth in the plantand the possibility of giving better response to the two uses. It is that work and housing spaces live in the same plant – and there are no type plants – to collaborate with another of the objectives of the authors: Avoid program fragmentation and that will be evidenced in the image of the set.

The production of m | sg | s | s | V is characterized by working the concept of flexibility as an added value, with Modularity as an ally Together with the care of the location of nuclei, which in this case collaborated particularly in the genesis of the building.

Vinson emphasizes the turn of La Plata not only feeds the organization of the project, also “generates an opportunity for Image texture which is represented in the plant and in the modularity of the facade, where the image comes from something systemic when reflecting these operations ”.

With this approach, “the volumetric and geometric imprint of the building is born from a combined plant and volume work, a selective layout in guidance and good view searches, hence the diagonals or the Addresses in contrast and dialogue with the Cartesian grid of the city ”, highlights the memory of the authors.

The adaptation capacity characterizes the volumetric operation of the building, generating glass blocks or microvolumetrías that They stand out and staggeredcreating a visual dynamic towards the ground and to heaven.

In turn, this Step in the facade Open views towards the pedestrian space, favoring natural ventilation and lighting, allowing different uses to articulate efficiently.

For authors, the possibility of expressing the Construction modules and rhythms In the plant silhouette and in elevation in the auction “it generates a game between the whole and the parties based on the belief or conviction that performing buildings does not consist of a simple stack of M2, but an experience that, in addition to conditions of habitability and comfort, produces an aesthetic and recognizable urban experience”.

In short, “a balance between belonging to a city, one place, highlighting at the same time iconic qualities of the building and expressing singularity in harmony with the whole ”.

Urbanistically, the park masterplan establishes certain retreats that mark a Basement, body and auction. In Orion Parque, this fragmentation wanted to avoid emphatically.

“It was tried that the building does not start horizontally and the fractal elements generated by the modulation of the plant collaborate so that The composition is satisfied as an entire piece”, Clarifies.

In the same way that the building is articulated towards the auction without fragment, towards the ground generates retreats.

“To sponge the urban space, these glass fractals produce a squamad The dough generates a holean emerging green that travels the space and collects the subsoil amenities, crosses the hall and emerges in the basement as an ascending facade, ”describes Vinson.

The building has functional units type, two and three bedrooms; also with professional offices and lofts.

According to the coding requirements, the morphology of the building generates two important terraces at the level of the first floor and sixth, which correspond to functional units with large expansions. Similarly, some facade operations or ahuecados characterize the units that are available in these special situations.

The organization of the plant locates a services close to the circulatory nucleus so that the units have flexibility when transforming into housing or offices, or joining modules.
