FEATURED PROJECT

Mansa Forest

Mansa Forest is a residential complex located in the department of Maldonado, just a few blocks from Playa Mansa in Punta del Este. The project consists of two apartment buildings, totaling 70 units ranging from 1 to 4 bedrooms, integrated by a 4,950 m² central landscaped park that organizes the complex and reinforces its connection with the natural surroundings. The building also includes a basement level for parking and technical areas. The design was conceived to respect and enhance the site’s natural preexistence, creating a calm atmosphere that encourages connection with nature. The choice of materials and the integration of vegetation in terraces and common areas add warmth and cohesion, achieving a harmonious relationship with the landscape. The project includes a variety of amenities: paddle court, basketball and soccer courts, heated indoor and outdoor pools, enclosed barbecue areas, playroom, screening room, and laundry facilities, among others. At MAG, we worked alongside the developers throughout all stages of the project, from the site feasibility study and preliminary design development to construction permitting and the production of construction documents. Throughout the entire process, BIM methodology was implemented, allowing for precise coordination across disciplines, early clash detection, and optimized technical management of the project, contributing to more efficient planning and execution.

FEATURED PROJECT

Cala del Yatch

Cala del Yacht is a large-scale project designed by Gómez Platero, combining multiple uses in a single development. Located in a privileged setting, it blends into the landscape of Lake Calcagno and seamlessly connects to the main thoroughfares of the Montevideo border area. The project consists of five residential towers and one office tower, unified by a two-level shopping and dining center, designed with transparency and a direct connection to the waterfront promenade. It also incorporates outdoor recreational and sports spaces, enhancing the lakeside experience. At MAG, we collaborated on generating documentation based on the BIM model and participated in coordination with various consultants to ensure design consistency and precision at every stage. Our work contributed to the realization of the project's architecture, which emphasizes visual permeability and integration with nature, with modular facades combining concrete, wood, and glass. The terraces and circulation spaces reinforce the connection between the park, Racine Avenue, and the lake, creating a dynamic and contemporary environment. The complexity of the project lies in the harmonious coexistence of its multiple functions, consolidating an urban landmark that redefines the relationship between architecture and landscape.
