D'Halmar Building

Where architecture merges with the plaza

The D’Halmar Building is located in a traditional neighbourhood of Ñuñoa, in direct contact with the Plaza Augusto D’Halmar. Its design extends the vegetation and urban landscape to its facades, achieving a harmonious integration with its immediate surroundings.

The project is composed of two independent volumes that open onto the landscape, privileging the view and the quality of life of the residents. The façade, with green tones and open corridors, generates a visual and spatial connection with the square.

Design

The project reinterprets the square as part of the building, extending its materiality, colours and vegetation to the architecture.

Integration

The wood-framed entrances capture the essence of the neighborhood, connecting the architecture with the pedestrian scale and the community.

Green spaces

The exterior gardens are incorporated into the design of the building, allowing the apartments on the first floor to have private landscaped areas.

habitability

The units vary between 38 m² and 118 m², offering flexible spaces from 1 to 4 bedrooms with privileged views of the square.

Connectivity

Located close to the Prince of Wales metro and future motorways, the building is integrated into the urban network with multiple accesses.

Innovation

The open corridors with frosted glass allow natural light to pass through, generating dynamism and transparency in the project's volumetry.

MATERIALITY AND EXPRESSION

The building stands out for its envelope in green tones, in tune with the square. Its construction elements reinforce the continuity between architecture and public space.

The terraces and common spaces offer gathering areas for residents, while the rooftop incorporates private and collective areas with views of the city.

URBAN QUALITY OF LIFE

The open accesses and the perimeter gardens generate a fluid relationship between interior and exterior, integrating the building into its immediate surroundings.

The interior landscaping and pool provide wellness spaces for residents, complementing a design that prioritizes light, ventilation, and comfort.

D'Halmar is not just a building, it is a tribute to its surroundings. Through its design and materiality, it strengthens the character of the neighborhood, creating a space where architecture and nature converge.

The connection with the square, its open accesses and the chromatic work on its façades consolidate a proposal designed to live in balance with the city.
