Carballo-PORTFOLIO

11. 509, Residential Complex
The 509 Residential Complex, is located on the top
of one of the mountains of Alto Hatillo suburb, which
provides excellent visuals of the valley of Caracas. The
proposal consists of 6,500.00 m2 sqm of construction
area, divided into a seven-story tower with 12 apartments
and 5 individual townhouses, the complex have
an internal access road to the carpark and each townhouse
. The common areas are located in the basement
of the tower, which includes the basement carpark
with landscaped slabs.
Each townhouse unit was developed using the
same half level scheme. Starting at the street level, there
is the carpark and the main access to the unit. Half
way down comprises the social areas such as the kitchen,
the dining room, the living room and the outdoor
terrace, while half way up includes the bed rooms and
the TV room. The master bedroom with its own walk-in
closet and en-suit bathroom is located at the rooftop.
At the garden level, there is also a multipurpose room.
As the plot is located at the top of a mountain, we
used the topography of the terrain in order to take advantage
of north side views by staggering the location
of houses, thus achieving that, both the building and the
houses enjoy the views of the Avila Mountain.
The complex has already been built and sold 100
percent in presale. The project was successfully executed
according to plan. Only some landscaping work
and planting vegetation on the perimeter is left to be
completed. The strategy of providing a wide range of
housing units with different areas and features to cover
a much wider target audience, granted a successful
presale phase. It was so successful that it is now implemented
in other residential projects.

The seven-story tower has 3 types of residential
units, the ones located at the first two levels which are
duplex with private gardens, then 3 levels of single level
units, and finally two duplex at the pent house level
with private rooftop terraces. Each single level apartment
was designed in order to allow contiguous units
to be joined together to double the area and function
as a single unit.
