LVIEW

LVIEW - LOOK FROM ABOVE

Residential building "LVIEW" is located in a corner property in the central part of "Lyulin", next to Queen Joanna Blvd. It combines contemporary design with memorable architectural details that create a new way of living in the dynamics of the big city. The general form of this project is unique from the surrounding environment as the main vertical line that the building follows changes direction for the 14th to 17th floors, creating a right angle with the sloping surface on the roof. Due to the clear form of horizontal and vertical orthogonal lines, "LVIEW" enables easy maintenance and high energy efficiency.

The building is designed on 17 ground floors, one underground floor, which is designed for parking, storage and installation space, and a second floor community garden. Road access to the underground level is via a ramp. The ground floor is again dedicated for private garages, while the first residential floor is partitioned into 6 apartments. Three of them have private “backyards” that are in the same space as the community garden, a common area of more than 500 m2. This garden is filled with rich landscaping, organized with asymmetrical alleys, branches with high tree vegetation and multiple private areas for relaxation. Additionally, the entire community garden is enclosed by vertical landscaping with a height ranging from 3 to 6 m with an area of over 100 m2. The rest of the levels also have 6 apartments each, with an adjacent staircase and two high-speed lifts, each for 8 people. The top most floor is at an altitude of over 50 m and is designed as a PENTHOUSE apartment with a height of over 3.40 m and a clear view of the city and the mountains that shows the difference in scale between this project and its surrounding environment.

The design of the building follows a clear vertical path, and the main focus is the chaotic yet rhythmic and organized alternation of identical elements on the facade. The interior walls of each balcony have a darker color than the overall facade, which emphasizes the difference in scale of various parts of the building. "LVIEW" is an iconic building for the neighborhood it’s located in, and introduces a contemporary vision for what urban daily routine could look like.
