URBAN SPACE

The building houses offices on the first floor, creating an active connection to urban services and neighborhood life. 

 

This design strengthens the vitality of the surroundings by facilitating the connection between residential and commercial spaces. 

VIEWS AND PRIVACY

The north, east, and west facades have flexible envelopes that control light and privacy while maintaining panoramic views.  

 

The south façade's glass maximizes the visual connection with the surrounding urban and natural landscapes. 

WALK redefines contemporary housing with a design that adapts to urban dynamics and modern living. 

 

Its combination of technology, materials, and spatiality creates a building that provides architectural value and a high quality of life. 

The interior spaces of Walk reflect a combination of high-quality materials and carefully crafted designs. The kitchen features Gorenje appliances, Silestone countertops, and black Franke faucets, ensuring that every detail is functional and aesthetically pleasing. 

 

The loggias are discreetly hidden behind kitchen panels to provide visual continuity. The terraces, which have tempered glass railings, maximize the connection to the outdoors, offering spaciousness and brightness to the living spaces.
