Designing in Lima, a city of marked eclecticism is more a provocation than a challenge. The vibrant movement of forms, heights, colors, reflections, textures and all kinds of elements competing for the leading role is a particularly interesting framework for XTe a+d‘s proposal for an exclusive, loft apartment building. More images and architects’ description after the break.
The building has been thought as a duality that maintains balance between minimalism in its interior and expressionism on its main façade. From the exterior, the tower responds to the dialogue that the city proposes. Thus, its façades consist of a series of volumes reflecting a sensation of controlled chaos. It is in the main façade where this image becomes more radical, and gives identity to the building and each apartment in particular without losing the complete picture. From our perspective, it is, without doubt, a building specially designed for Lima.
