面对拉长的街区、狭窄的地块和对高度、悬挑和后退的严格规定的常规城市布局，我们提出了一个从北到南穿过街区的建筑，形成一个 “U “形的平面图，并留下一个中央天井。通过这种方式，该建筑为城市提供了一个新的半公共空间，同时为没有临街立面的房间提供了充足的照明和自然通风条件。

Faced with a regular urban layout of elongated blocks, a narrow lot and strict regulations on heights, overhangs and setbacks, we proposed a building that crosses the block from north to south, creating a “U” shaped floor plan and leaving a central patio. open to the existing pedestrian walkway on the western side. In this way, the building offers the city a new semi-public space, simultaneously generating adequate lighting and natural ventilation conditions for the rooms without a façade facing the street.

我们将技术区和垂直循环沿东侧布置成条状，从而控制了下午的阳光，并为84个房间腾出了北、南和西面的空间。建筑方案包括一个技术性的地下室，一个带有商业场所和双层大厅的第一层通道，五层的房间和一个带有休闲空间和游泳池的露台。前三层的房间是单层的单元，最后两层是两层的单元。

We located the technical zones and vertical circulations in a strip along the eastern side, thus controlling the afternoon sun and freeing the north, south and west faces for the 84 rooms. The building program consists of a technical basement, a first access level with commercial premises and double-height halls, five levels of rooms and a terrace with recreational spaces and a swimming pool. The first three levels of rooms are single-story units, and the last two are two-story units.

在84个单元中，有转角房间、面向街道的房间、面向院子的房间、露台房间和阳台房间。我们提议用麦德林市的典型材料建造建筑：裸露的砖和混凝土。我们把阳台设计成灰色混凝土的预制件，固定在一个二级结构上，产生了一个适合热带气候的深色和阴影的外墙。

Among the 84 units, there are corner rooms, street-facing rooms, courtyard-facing rooms, terrace rooms, and balcony rooms. We proposed a building with the typical materials of the city of Medellin: exposed brick and concrete. We designed the balconies as prefabricated pieces in gray concrete, anchored to a secondary structure, generating a deep and shaded façade, suitable for the tropical climate.
