3 Jujuy Redux Project Type: Multi-Family Housing Location: Rosario, Argentina Status: Completed, 2012 Size: 130 m2 / 13,00 sq ft Client: Private Left Night Time East Elevation 2 Jujuy Redux is a mid-rise apartment building located in Rosario, Argentina. The project consists of thirteen small, shared-floor units and a Duplex organized in a crossventilated layout. The Ground level provides parking for 10 vehicles, and a common terrace on the 8th floor outdoor leisure spaces. Jujuy Redux proposes a subtle delineated mass, operating both at the scale of the entire volume and the scale of each apartment. This flexible duality overcomes issues that exist with many mid-rise housing typologies, such as the occurrence of fixed, scalar transformations that play either with the envelope as detached from the units, or with the units alone. A transition from mass to volume, from volume to surface, induces a visual and physical distortion at the pedestrian level. More importantly, it enables the weighty appearance of the building to sinuously dematerialize towards the corner, allowing the social space par excellence of each apartment to visually connect with the pedestrian activity in the street below. The Balconies Problematically, Balconies are the inevitable cultural element in mid-rise residential buildings of South America. Typologically, balconies have become the playground for formalism, often neglecting issues of spatial integration into an overall scheme, and worse, dissociating them from social issues and human inhabitation. By contrast, the formal, spatial and material treatment of the balconies of Jujuy Redux is one of the most significant, innovative and socially performative aspects of the project. Spatially ambivalent and nuanced, Jujuy Redux balconies are conceived as highly articulated pieces of scalar diversity that incorporate apertures, railing, direct and indirect LED lighting as well as material changes. A built-in bench provides a place for leisure activities and small gatherings, while allowing inhabitants to tailor its use according to their individual needs.

4 Right Night Time East Elevation 3 Street and Entrance At ground level, concrete cross braces receive the diagonal deviations produced by the balconies, creating a double-height urban corner free of columns. This cantilevered corner gives way to an inconspicuous building entrance located at Jujuy Street, followed by a sequence of spaces: a gated porch and main hall linked by a two-storey glazed doorway, and the elevator lobby, all clad in polished Carrara marble. Terrace and Roof The formal sequence of diagonal deviations intensifies at the Roof level, where the building tapers to accommodate a set of mechanical spaces, a corner duplex, a common terrace with a solarium and semi-covered areas for barbecuing- all of them enjoying attractive views of downtown and the riverfront. Visually, the building opens up and lightens its contorted mass as it rises above the ancient grove in sequenced diagonal recesses to meet the city skyline. Articulation: Whole and Holes Following the geometry of the balcony system, the triangular openings along the shell open up a series of threshold spaces to control sunlight, natural ventilation and views. Where the shell doubles up, it becomes perforated, creating a passive solar technique that, in addition to the cross-ventilated layout of the apartments, helps produce an effective natural passive cooling system. Similarly, the chamfered corner and main entry are punctured, albeit in a larger number, allowing the building porch to receive filtered morning light while offering passers-by voyeuristic peeks into the building. In and Out of Material: White Concrete White walls have traditionally been associated with the stripping away of details and ornamentation, often resulting in a stale materiality, like the overt whitewash found in many nineteenth-century buildings. Alternatively, Jujuy Redux explores a different kind of whiteness: one that privileges overall plasticity over local materiality and engage in high or low contrast to address depth and flatness, subtle white to off-white.
