IGV
The complex is designed with precise rigor, displaying correct architecture in various areas and scales, qualities that earned it the multifamily housing award of the IX National Architecture Biennial in Caracas in 1998. The complex is an urban renewal proposal that inserts a high density of housing within an increasingly commercial area. Betting on centralization and densification of the city, the large urban complex has three residential towers that compete in height with the valley’s tall business buildings. Thus, the Solano Residential Complex became a formal milestone within an artificial swarm. The upper levels establish visual connections with the landscape, while the ground floor has no less meaningful links to its immediate context. Squares and sidewalks define the access thresholds to the buildings, while the shops are located on the street level. The interior of the apartments is a system as rigorous as the serial repetition of windows making up the façades. Its success as a high density complex comes from its extremely rational consistency, present in all its scales, with an appropriate implantation of the complex, as well as the use of bricks and the resolution of detail. The complex gambles on urban densifica-tion, prior to the ambitious urban complex of Parque Residencial del Este.
