Collegiate Entreverdes is located at the intersection between Virrey Olaguer and Feliu and Conde on the site of an old factory with a development of 26 meters on one side and on the other with a frontage of 17.32 meters. The property of 5 plots with exit on both streets forming an "L" shape, is completed as a special feature, a section is inserted linearly and parallel to the yard.

The building consists of three blocks: two in Virrey Olager y Feliu (Northwest) and Conde (Southwest). and on the other hand, one part enters the center of the plot and takes advantage of the wind and the view facing northeast. The central courtyard, the elements of vertical and horizontal circulation are the main protagonists of the building.

The central courtyard, with a swimming pool and a lapacho wood deck, fit into a meeting point located on the first level. This resource gives it more value, reduces the scale of the building, expands the space and improves sunlight throughout the area. Below this atrium on the ground floor, is the multipurpose room, the gym, part of the garage.

The rest of the garage is in the basement. The main material of the building is concrete, stone and grey. The brickwork was finished with embossed plaster to match the concrete and metal elements such as railings were also painted with this aesthetic. This neutral color palette allows the natural elements to shine to the fullest and be the main protagonists of the building: wood, water, plants and light revealing the intersection between engineering and sculpture.

Towards the street, an irregularly paced vertical shading system helps protect the building from the western sun and provides privacy. The building rises on Conde Street giving a different answer to the concerns of its neighbors, in the North it takes the municipal line and a height of 12 meters, in the South it withdraws and rises to 15 meters.

On the western side it takes again the lines of the corner building and finally on the eastern side it adopts a friendly scale with the existing houses, waiting for the natural development proposed by the current urban planning regulations.

Inside, long horizontal bridges divide the building with vertical ones that structure the space of the central atrium, being the vehicle of light, air and greenery. On the east side, the bridges cross in front of the elevator block and the staircase, the morning sun vibrates in the central courtyard with a play of shadows and reflections over the water mirror.

In the open spaces, the climate, the vegetation, the aromas are present without interruption from the street to the entrance of each apartment. Units enjoy generous extensions. Also, the accessible terraces have views of the treetops and the neighbor's roof.

The lucky scale of this neighborhood of Buenos Aires, the light, the graphics, the sound, the atmosphere, is the conceptual material with which we project this building and we want to convey a life to Entreverdes.
