===This project is develops 30 m away from the main square of Caracas. Located on a plain background without limitation and with different medians as neighbors. The building is located in one corner, diagonally across the square. ===

===The project is opened in an area of 16 m wide by 24 m deep. It has a total of 18 apartments of 81 m2 to 203 m2 of variable configuration. Each a responding to the needs of our largestcustomer (Teachers). For this reason it was decided to design three types of apartments: ===

===The building also has several shops on the ground floor plan. The level 1 is a living room and public space. At level 2 there is a library. At level 3 there is a garden and in the last two levels (11 and 12) are a multi-purpose room with a sports gymnasium spaces. === === The main facade is solved by a set of double heights on the right side with simple heights left. In the lower part of the building (public area) is even more wide the heights and spaces. In the secondary facade is observed as the main element a large glass windows of 8 m in length. This project presented on both fronts a large bucket on top that helps to reinforce the character of corner location. ===

===The structure was solved by columns, beams and a supporting wall that helps hold it. the columns enables us to support the walls. The beams helps us keep fixed the floors and ceilings. The bearing wall helps to secure a part of the building and thus provide greater support to the basement. The main element for the construction of all is the concrete. ===

===Other building material is glass. Are used mostly on the facades and on the inner and outer spaces. Its purpose is to provide more light and ventilation to the apartments and public areas. The brick was used to fill the gaps between the columns and walls of the residences. The metal and steel was used to reinforce the handrails of the stairs, railing of the balconies and window frames. The wood is was used more in the apartments as a decorative element and doors. ===

===The character of the project is to create different spaces for coexistence of people. The residences multipurpose set each of these building blocks to offer the public a stay of comfort and harmony. Along with its volume, the building is attractive to anyone who wants to live a sense of freedom. It is therefore important configure the different elements of construction. Each has its own particularity in the definition of the spaces and give a good decorative finished. ===
