The Design

About Elysium Residence Edificio Residencial

Residencia Elysium, situada no sur do Brasil, na cidade costeira de Itapema. Para promover o deseño, o proxecto implementou conceptos e valores da arquitectura contemporánea e buscou redefinir o concepto de edificación residencial, achegando experiencia aos seus usuarios e a relación coa cidade. A solución contén o uso de iluminación escénica, sistemas de construción innovadores e o uso de deseño paramétrico. Todas as tecnoloxías e conceptos aplicados a este proxecto pretenden transformar o futuro edificio nunha icona urbana.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: On the iconic facade, the scenic lighting system was designed using electronic glasses that emit light. The ventilated facade reflects the concept of the project addressed to the new generation. That was the conceptual start for the development of the project. The sculptural mask design turns the concrete structure into a sinuous form instead of a heavy volume, the outcome is a landmark for the city and the pedestrians, making up a new iconic urban landmark.
Dimensions & Packaging: Iconic sculpture facade, concrete, steel, ACM (Aluminum Composite Material)
Tags: Parametric design, Innovation, Metal structure, Sculpture, Icon, Urban Reference
Production Technology: Concrete, Glass, Galvanized Steel, ACM Aluminum Composite Material, LED Light.
Design Challenge: The most challenging part of the design process was breaking the obvious. Builders and constructors are reluctant to accept or even apply iconic design ideas into residential buildings. Socially and economically speaking, we do not invest much in constructive design and innovation in small and middle-sized towns of Brazil. Developing this project was a great triumph for our region.
Research: The research of design focuses on visual perception, like a sculpture, with the aim of researching the relationship of the building as a visual landmark in the city. The collection of data was performed by looking for images of similar projects and parametric design presenting as a real result in business and society, the direct relationship of users and pedestrians, in and around them, as an icon.
Inspiration: Through parametric and iconic lines the scenic lighting system was designed to be integrated with the ventilated facade. This system reflects the responsibility that the building holds about the design and its interaction with the users, neighborhood and the city. The parametric design which forms the illuminated facade turns the simple relation of a residential building into an iconic reference for the pedestrians as well as the relations of the users with the architecture and urban places.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2017 in Itapema, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Under construction, deadline for year 2021.
Operation Flow: The project is based on an iconic urban landmark on the neighborhood where it will be built as well as a sculpture that works on reducing the visual impact of the building basis in relation to pedestrians.
