In a city where architectural proposals abound and the urban setting grows ever more diverse and complex, the project asks a simple question: how do you build a refuge within the city without giving up everything that happens around it?

On a site of barely 300 m², in the heart of the city, a building of 14 apartments answers the needs of contemporary life through a simple, functional, orderly architecture.

The idea again starts from the concept of the house as a refuge, taken now to an urban scale. Each apartment becomes a space of calm against the pace of the city.

The apartments, of roughly 70 m², have one or two bedrooms and are designed to adapt to different ways of living. Every square metre has a function.

The architecture thus answers modern times and the new dynamics of the city: more compact, efficient, flexible spaces, without giving up the feeling of home.

Proyecto Po is the way architecture can organise space and build quality of life.
