The Design

About Living The Noom Stambeni kompleks

Living The Noom je stambeni kompleks dizajniran oko tri principa: wellness življenja, održivosti i fleksibilnog stanovanja. Kompleks se sastoji od tri zgrade sa po pet spratova, izgrađene sa betonskom konstrukcijom i nezavisnom fasadom od bambusa. Svaki sprat je otvoreni prostor koji se može urediti u nekoliko rasporeda stanova sa jednom, dvije ili tri spavaće sobe. Bioklimatske strategije uključuju prikupljanje kišnice, tretman sivih voda, zelene krovove i solarne panele. Zgrade zauzimaju 30 posto parcele, tako da je veliki dio postojeće vegetacije očuvan.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: Noom is a sanctuary of conscious life based on 3 main axes; Wellness Living, Sustainability and Flexible Living. Wellness Living centres design of spaces and amenities to prevent health problems and cultivate healthier habits. Sustainability is a must in architecture and the project promotes the reduction of resources use through passive and bioclimatic design. Flexible Living is achieved by designing an open-plan building that can be configured in multiple options and satisfy different needs.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project consists of 3 buildings of 5 stories each. It is composed of a concrete structure and an independent bamboo facade. Every floor is an open space where multiple configurations could be designed. The apartments are 120 and 60 square meters, having 1, 2, or 3 bedrooms.
The project resides on a 2046 square meter lot and, occupying just 30% of it, preserves plenty of the existing vegetation. It restores 2,500 square meters of the removed vegetation by implementing green roofs and facades.

Production Technology: The project integrates bioclimatic and sustainable strategies such as rainwater harvesting, wastewater separation, wetland for greywater treatment, biodigesters, compost area, vegetation cover that creates a barrier for pollution and reduce the Heat Island effect, among others. By digital simulation, different analysis can be made to indicate the best area to place solar protection elements and solar panels. These techniques give the project 85% of energy savings.
Design Challenge: The main obstacle to overcome is to generate a new housing proposal with all the sustainable and wellness features, with a low density and low land occupancy percentage while maintaining an affordable and competitive price in the real estate market. In real estate developments, money is such an important factor that usually displaces other factors like the sustainable and social benefit. But this project aims to put the environment, health and money at the same level.
Research: The design team researched bioclimatic and sustainable strategies that can be applied in the Mexican Caribbean and into International Well Building Institute documents. The objective of this research was to design an environmentally responsible project with dwellings that improve health. That research showed that a Wellness dwelling should apply several aspects grouped into 10 concepts: Air, Water, Nourishment, Light, Movement, Thermal Comfort, Sound, Materials, Mind and Community.
Inspiration: The concept was born trying to answer the questions: Where would you like to live for the rest of your lives. And, if humans have different needs, why all the homes for sale seem to be cut from the same mould?

The project aims to promote a full life within the users and to offer a new housing proposal to the real estate market. It aims to create a community with the same values, to bring together people that values nature, art and animals.
Project Duration: The design phase of the project began in 2020 and the construction is going to begin in June 2021 in Cancun, Mexico.

The project was designed to be replicated on different lots. It is flexible enough to adopt different configurations, adapting to the lot dimensions but still ensuring optimal natural ventilation.
Operation Flow: The project has 4 habitational stories and the penthouse has access to the terrace located on the fifth floor. The other dwellings have access to the fifth-floor urban gardens where they can grow their food. The main amenities located on the ground floor are accessible for all the users.
