Project: Jenga Building

Remembering the Jenga game, the Jenga building is a residential construction with different residential uses and different target people. That's because there are three flat types that change while the building grows.

The floor 0 is reserved for wide commercial space with glass walls and independent entries from the main entry of the building.

The floors from 1 to 5 contains the first type of flat, eight lofts per floor grouped in twos. Each group has its corridor starting from the stairs and lift at the core of the construction. The last 3 meters of the corridors are made of glass to improve the light entering at the lower plants. The lofts has a big terrace, wc, kitchen and space enought for table, sofa and double bed.

The next 4 floors present the second type of flat. We are talking about four flats per floor with dinning and sitting-room, kitchen, wc, three rooms and a bigger terrace. The corridor follow the same idea from the lower floors.

The last floor has the last type, four flats with two main facades and the same stays than the flats below. This flats are bigger and its terrace are bigger too.

The roof of the stairs core are made of glass to bring the light from the outside.

The external image is conditioned by the different types of the flats with an structure that chage each few floors. This is the fact that gives the Jenga aspect to the building because the terraces look like the gaps resulting at the Jenga tower during the game.

The colours of the facades are, mainly, three: white paint for the terrace walls, brown paint for the rest of the walls of the facades and grey for the carpentry and the metallic elements.
