WINNER ARCHITECTURE | High Rise Buildings

Project Description

Standing 124 meters tall, AGE360 features a concrete exoskeleton that eliminates internal pillars, enabling flexible apartment layouts and panoramic views. Its chamfered volume was defined after 48 volumetric studies to balance urban visibility and compliance with local regulations. Common areas are positioned mid-tower, maximizing city views and spatial efficiency. Integrated planters with wind-resistant vegetation reinforce biophilia, while the material palette-exposed concrete, wood, and greenery-ensures durability, structural clarity, and environmental integration.

Project Concept

AGE360 was conceived as a residential tower that redefines the skyline of Curitiba while remaining deeply anchored to its site’s natural and urban context. The concept merges structural pragmatism with architectural poetry, reflecting the dual ambition of achieving technical excellence and spatial meaning. Developed through 48 volumetric studies in response to zoning constraints, the sculpted massing-with chamfered edges and a distinctive silhouette-translates regulatory limitations into a unique architectural identity. The concrete exoskeleton eliminates internal pillars, enabling open-plan layouts and reinforcing the building’s vertical expression. Common areas are not grounded but elevated to mid-tower, establishing panoramic shared spaces that promote well-being, interaction, and a reimagined vertical living experience. Nature is integral to the concept: native vegetation envelops terraces through built-in planters, transforming the façade into a living surface that fosters biophilia and mitigates heat. The combination of raw concrete, natural wood, and greenery generates a sensorial and functional atmosphere, reinforcing the building’s commitment to sustainability, flexibility, and quality of life. More than a residential landmark, AGE360 is a study in how architecture can emerge from place, dialogue with its constraints, and propose new urban legacies.
