On number 123 stands out the residential building designed by Serrano Monjaraz Arquitectos. The project was selected after a competition in which the firm obtained the first place. The fantastic location of this project offers to both the apartments and commercial premises the opportunity to enjoy this area.
Mixed use building with a total of 60 rental apartments distributed in three levels. Taking into consideration the intense traffic of Masaryk Avenue, the building has a double façade with a canvas printed with a graphic replica of the frontal trees. The other façade, that has direct view to the surrounding green areas, has a combination of stone blocks with terraces and a central corridor communicating the public areas.
There are six different types of apartments in order to fulfill the specific needs of the customers. On the ground floor the commercial premises are located to have easy access from the street. From the first to the fourth level there is parking area. The following three levels are the residential area protected of the street noise with the space left by the parking area.
Vertical dividers create the privacy required between each one of the residential areas. These dividers also work as frames that direct the views to the different green spots that surround the building and enhance the spectacular use of natural light.
Among all the modern amenities and security controls, the common areas and corridors offer a very adequate atmosphere.
Nobel materials were selected to add the contemporary touch required by the project. Granite, glass, concrete, steel and wood are perfectly combined into a very sober and elegant space.
