TRIPTYQUE Architecture presents Onze22, a residential building transcending the classic tower block as a set of overlapping, suspended slabs, interspersed with glass walls. Due to this structure framing the urban landscape in 360-degrees, Onze22 promotes total fluidity between exterior and interior. This design invites users to relate to the city, while the view composes the spaces as if it were part of the decoration.
Each point on the balcony provides endless views of the city. The first floors overlook the square and, from the upper floors, the open panorama of the neighbourhood offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
The building’s transparent skin ensures that the spaces of the studios and apartments are bathed in natural light. A covered balcony surrounds them entirely, expanding the spaces and ensuring protection against excess sun.
The landscaping extends the exuberant vegetation of the neighbouring square into the grounds. This tropical garden envelops the common areas — also entirely glazed — of a building without fences, whose original geometry makes it difficult to differentiate between the facade and the back of the building.
