Torres de Guapulo Pool Area 

The renovation of the pool area of the Torres de Guapulo would aim to reactivate the space and make it a more pleasant environment for the residents. The renovation was designed to be as low cost as possible to build. The main asset of the site was the view into the Cumbaya Valley. In order to take advantage of it, a slightly raised area was proposed. By raising an area in the southern section of the site by 90cm, the view into the Cumbaya valley would be activated. A small pavilion with a glazed wall was positioned in line with the boundary wall. It was placed in this position in order to block the strong winds that come in from the valley.

 

The base of the pool area is concrete so it was necessary to raise certain sections in order for there to be sufficent soil for the plants and grass. A cost effective cast in place concrete flooring system was specified. It's maleable nature allowed for geometric patterns to be designed into the floor.
