Koru was a challenging project since the beginning because of its irregular site, the client’s efficiency expectations and the need to have flexible and modular apartment units. There were many proposals that got to advanced stages before the outcome. Koru is the result of an efficient modular and flexible system that was adaptable to the many geometric possibili-ties explored, all of which aimed to integrate to its natural and low density context, rather than invading it and the only way to achieve this was by becoming an extension of the mountain, creating an “artificial mountain”. This was the first project I was appointed on my own, so my involvement included concept, strategy, volumetric studies, structural grid studies, interior distributions, parking design, facade design, details, diagrams, building permit documents, construction documents, contact with clients, BIM modelling and management.
