Pilares 1946

A residential facade study organized through vertical layering, mass hierarchy, and controlled thresholds.

The ground level anchors the composition with heavier elements, defining the relationship between vehicular access and pedestrian entry. A central stair establishes a clear hierarchy, guiding movement from street to interior while reinforcing the reading of the facade.

Upper volumes are articulated through framed planes and recessed openings, introducing depth and shadow rather than surface expression. Vertical elements act as filters, regulating light, ventilation, and privacy.

Material selection is restrained. Darker tones and exposed finishes ground the base, while lighter surfaces define the upper levels. Vegetation is integrated selectively, softening transitions without disrupting the architectural order.

Pilares 1946 is approached as an exercise in facade restraint—where proportion, depth, and material clarity define the architecture.
