Local studio 51-1 Arquitectos<\/a> has stacked a vertical convent<\/a> made of pink-coloured concrete and grey brick screens onto an urban site in Lima<\/a>, Peru.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Religiosas de Maria Inmaculada was completed as a contemporary alternative to an ancient building type.<\/p>\n

51-1 Arquitectos<\/a> constructed a 6,226-square metre (67,000-square foot) project on a quarter-acre plot that houses both residences for the Sisters of Mary Immaculate Congregation and the Young Women Shelter Home & Productive Technical Center.<\/p>\n

“Creating a building with an open street level could be a good opportunity for the Sisters of Mary Immaculate to show their generous spirit and leadership as an alternative development of creating public spaces in private land,” the studio said.<\/p>\n

The bottom two levels approached from the street are characterised by pink concrete with vertical board markings.<\/p>\n

Tipping outward over an angled reflecting pool, the corner of the building is punctured by a cross.<\/p>\n

Double-height parabolic arches open the facade to the diverse public programming \u2013 including workshop spaces for sewing, baking, hairdressing and computational design courses.<\/p>\n

The third level, recessed slightly in dark cladding, is a private intermediary level for refectories and a private courtyard in the back corner for the nuns, while the upper levels are divided between sleeping quarters for the women’s shelter and the sisters’ residences.<\/p>\n

The residential levels are enclosed in a brick lattice with a circular and cross pattern that allows light into the sleeping quarters but protects and provides privacy for the residents, the studio explained.<\/p>\n

The brise soleil allows ventilation in rooms and down corridors as the building has no air conditioning in its mild climate.<\/p>\n
