Description Sun Dial - Reloj de Sol:
The project „Sun dial - Reloj de sol'' is imagined to be a STRUCTURED HOME project, adapted to the lifestyle of people, this region and climate, designed to continue the story of an unusual space,
in all it's dimensions – the past, present and future, -while innovatively using solar and wind energies and wanting to provide a feeling of happy living to it's users.
The investor company and the architect have accordingly tried to create a home in a multi apartment building in which the inhabitant will live in synchronicity with nature and other people, and allow them to create their own space.
The project tries to comprehend the diversity from the Split city perspective, as it can be spoken as motto: ''THE RIGHT'' TO THE MEDITERRANNEAN.
In combination with the body of the building, solar and wind power, the given structure creates a form of urban environment that connects the area of Split.
The architecture of the building is sustaining the concept of INDIVIDUALITY and is trying to understand and respond to the mental sensibility of the people in Split.
By complementing methods of sociology, urbanism and architecture, an own – holistic,
''THIRD STRUCTURE METHOD'' has been introduced.
Before designing the project, different studies have been made – FACADE ANALYSIS of the main street and the SPATIAL ANALYSIS of the neighborhood. A questionnaire was made among users of this space regarding their relationship with the surroundings they live in- we concluded there was a negative mental attitude and a longing for “warm, recognizable spaces.”
In prior researches, we recognized a special concept called „APARTMENT STYLE OF SPLIT“, that implies:
- open and interconnected living room, the kitchen and dining room for socializing and playing cards.
- The kitchen is directly vented – the window also provides a view outside while one is cooking. The kitchen is „open type design“
- In the living room is a special space to read the famous local newspaper while sipping a cup of coffee.
- The loggia is planned to be an open space where one can enjoy the view while sipping coffee and breathing fresh air.
- An important space is the one for drying clothes (''the right'' to dry your clothes outside) from the washing machine, located outside on the sun, a small space as a rebellion against the unpopular drying machine.
- An absolute must - small space, wherever possible - to put flowers inside a traditional clay pot (''the right'' to have flowers in a pot).
The research done has provided information about the most required apartment proportions- those are 40 m2 to 65 m2.
This project provides so called MONOSPACES inside apartments- spaces with no walls.
The above mentioned has been followed with APARTMENT SCENARIOS: These scenarios provide simulated possibilities for every kind of apartment.
A team for apartment customization has been formed.
