在一个有轻微坡度的转角地带，垂直于靠近圣保罗州首府的Cesário Lange市中心最重要的路线之一，建造了五个仓库，以容纳不同类型的服务和商业用途。该项目最初的前提是具有灵活性，主要是由于面积略大于90平方米的单元所能容纳的用途的不确定性。
In a corner lot with slight slope and positioned perpendicularly to one of the most important routes of Cesário Lange’s downtown area, city near to the capital of São Paulo state, five warehouses were built in order to accommodate different types of service and commercial uses. The project had flexibility as an initial premise, mainly due to the uncertainty of the uses that the units of a little over than 90m² could host.
最初，我们推测这些仓库将被用作便利店、木工店或小修理店，但不知道城市人口会如何接受这套设施。为了使这种不确定性不会限制空间的销售，建筑项目尽可能的全面，允许多样化的使用和活动。与此相关的是，从一开始就考虑到了根据客户的需求执行建筑的低预算，客户的目标是一个低投资和快速财务回报的项目。
Initially, it was presumed that these warehouses would be occupied by uses as convenience store, carpentry shop or small repair shops, but it was not known how the city population would accept the set. So that this uncertainty would not restrict the selling of the spaces, the architectural project was the most comprehensive as possible, allowing a diverse range of uses and activities. Tied to that, it was considered, since the beginning, a low budget for the execution of the construction according to the client demand, who aimed a project of low investment with fast financial return.
因此，该项目采用调制的结构方案，使它们之间的跨度很容易克服，不需要复杂的结构，简化了屋顶和夹层板的支撑。为了突出结构设计理念和降低建筑成本，这些计划是用明显的混凝土块的结构砌筑而成。在这些元素中，在建筑构成中很突出的是玻璃砖和卷帘钢门，以便在不需要框架的情况下提供自然光和通道。
Therefore, the project was elaborated with modulated structural plans in a way that the spans between them could be easily overcome without the need of complex structures, simplifying the roof and mezzanine slab supports. In order to highlight the structural design concept and reduce the construction cost, these plans were built with structural masonry of apparent concrete blocks. Among these elements, outstanding in the architectural composition, glass bricks and roll-up steel doors were placed in order to provide natural light and access without the need of frames.
关于场地设计，在角落的空间里规划了一个高大的广场，面对更大的流通路线和溪流，与第一个仓库相连，它有可能是一个单一的用途，因为它直接与户外空间和人行道相关。其他仓库通过相邻的街道有独立的通道，与城市的关联性较小。施工完成后，人们注意到一个有趣的事实。由于该建筑从这个城市的其他建筑中脱颖而出，而这个城市只有不到2万名市民，没有类似的建筑，占据这些空间的企业是酒吧和服装店，与最初考虑的服务非常不同。
Concerning the site design, a high square was planned in the corner space, facing the greater circulation route and the stream, connected to the first warehouse that has the potential for a singular use, since it is directly associated to the outdoor space and the sidewalk. The other warehouses have independent access through the adjacent street, of less urban relevance. After the construction was done, an interesting fact was noticed. Since the building stood out from the other buildings of the city, that has less than 20.000 citizens and devoid of buildings with similar features, the businesses that took over the spaces were bars and clothing stores, very different from the services initially considered.
