STREETVIEW ON THE WEST
TYPICAL FLAT LAYOUT
The buildings have 6–7 storeys and four stairwells.
There is a variety of apartment types ranging from one-bedroom apartments of a little over 50 square metres to spacious family apartments of over a hundred square metres. Stairwells are arranged on the side connecting the outside road. These are all accessible from both side in the ground. The four stairwell are separate. The flats are arranged around the four stairwells. The service core ( for sauna, WC and kitchen) stay naturally near the stairblocks. The flats in the middle usually have no open air for WC, while the flats on the side have better layout. Sunlight enters the flats from the the livingroom quarters with glazed balconies. All bedrooms have windows.
FLOORS LAYOUT
THERE IS A ROOF-LEVEL CANOPY LINKING THE TWO BUILDING ENTITY INTO ONE. THE CANOPY ALSO LENDS AN AIR OF SOLIDITY TO THE SEA-FACING ELEVATION. HOWEVER, THE CANOPY SLAB DOES NOT PROVIDE PROTECTION FROM THE RAIN BUT DOES CAST SHADOW, WHICH IS LESS DESIRABLE FOR THE USE OF THE BALCONIES.
OPEN VIEW There are low-lying houses and a park between Scarlett and the shore, and a seaside view from the windows and balconies of the topmost floors. The buildings have been designed so that as many apartments as possible have a seaside view.
THROUGH THE GAP OPENING BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS. THE OPENING UP OF VIEWS ON SUCH A DEEP PLOT IS A FINE ACHIEVEMENT. All the apartments have a sea view towards the west, most
THE STEP SOLUTION FOR THE LAYOUTS ENSURE THAT NO BALCONY BLOCKS THE VIEWS FROM OTHER FLATS.
OPEN VIEWS FROM BALCONIES Scarlett Housing lies in a great location, nearby the seashore. THE MAIN DESIGN IDEA IS TO OPEN ALL THE APARTMENTS TO THIS DIRECTION. The link between the apartments and the balconies is exemplary and allows THE INTERIOR SPACES TO VISUALLY EXTEND OUTWARDS. The balconies are stylish and have a maritime feeling. Their square floor plan gives them a room-like cosiness and makes them easy to furnish. The balcony walls are lined with timber and the glazed side with its balustrades has a nautical character.
