Malvin Village
Malvín Village is a residential building located in the Malvín neighborhood of Montevideo, just a few blocks from the waterfront. The project spans four levels and includes 18 housing units, offering studio apartments as well as 1, 2, and 3-bedroom options. The semi-basement ground floor houses the main entrance and parking area, while the upper levels open up to the surroundings through terraces and large glazed surfaces that enhance the connection with the outdoors.
The design proposes a balance between privacy and openness, through a volume that alternates solids and voids, and a materiality that combines exposed concrete, wood, and glass, generating contrasts and a contemporary character. The common spaces—laundry, gym, and rooftop barbecue—function as extensions of the living space, promoting coexistence and a connection with the immediate urban environment.
At MAG, we supported the project comprehensively, working alongside the developers from the feasibility assessment of the land to the on-site management. We were responsible for the development of the preliminary design, the management of construction permits, and the preparation of the construction documents. The implementation of BIM methodology was key to ensuring design coherence, identifying clashes between disciplines, anticipating conflicts, and facilitating decision-making throughout the entire construction process.
