Venetian Luxury Residences is our biggest architectural project being built right now. The building’s 27 levels are laid on a footprint of about 13.500 sq. ft. and will be ready to move in by May 2021. It is a joint venture with WMW real estate developers in which we have taken care of the project´s design and preliminary drafts.
By minimizing its footprint, the project manages to free up a generous area for gardens and amenities, while maintaining a prudent distance from the lot’s edge in order to minimize shadows cast over the coastline. Building amenities include a large open air swimming pool, snack bar, solarium, tennis courts, sports pitch, barbeque facilities and a terraced party room.
The ground floor has a sizeable lobby with a balcony overlooking the sea. The lobby connects to a spacious business center, children’s room, teen’s room, TV and screening room. The basement houses a gym, indoor pool, spa, Jacuzzi, and 250 parking spaces in the rear of the building. The natural sloping terrain allows the basement direct access to the grounds.
There are six residential units per floor, organized in three pairs around vertical circulation hubs, with a carefully studied rational use of space in terms of its functional layout. There are various unit typologies, ranging from two to five bedrooms, with double fronts that secure quality views from every space, especially from living-rooms that exceed five meters wide. Every room is reached by natural light and all bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms.
Designed as a screen towering over the Mansa Beach Bay, it is defined by an intensely dynamic facade composition generated by a system of balconies of differing form and dimension. The building’s freed-up corners, in addition to its large, irregularly-shaped terraces overlooking the ocean, soften the volume’s visual impact and make the best of the views over a magnificent natural setting.
