BRIEF

Situated in an idyllic location near Bambis, this project faces the cityscape on one side, and the riverside on the other. Mugo was approached to design a unique apartment concept that leveraged this orientation and location.

HIGHLIGHTS

Our twin-tower residential project provides stunning mountain and cityscape views.

CHALLENGE

Upon assessing the plot of land, Mugo identified that there was a 12m slope downwards into the riverside to account for. We needed to develop a strategy to counter this imbalance for our foundation.

STRATEGY

We took the unorthodox approach: we designed a building that would instead leverage that slope for views facing the river on the bottom floors. To this end, we excavated and developed a 3-floor basement spa, offering an unexpected surprise to guests who traverse downstairs expecting the usual basement parking structure—instead, we dedicated the G+4 zone to parking.
