RESIDENCE AND DAY CENTRE FOR MENTALLY HANDICAPPED

In addition to an optimal functional and interior spatial resolution, which is explained below, the project's key probably lies in an accurate response to the unusual and difficult situation in urban and volume to be inserted.


On either side of the plot, two "twin towers" of 9 / 10 storeys high, while in our solar can only lift 3 levels. The apple will continue to maintain the vertical crack, and the new volume will have a difficult relationship with their environment heights, always in a condition of inferiority to the houses of its environment, even with the character of public facilities.


It has been chosen to structure the basic uses (day centre and residence) by level, not volume, thereby minimizing the vertical displacement, providing internal privacy of the upper floors (1 st and 2 nd) and the relationship with the gardens and outdoor spaces, placing most of all the spaces of the day center on ground floor.


Outdoor spaces, articulated around the courtyard, are one of the essential aspects of this equipment. The main gardens, fundamentally linked to the residence, are developed on the covers of both volumes in the second and third floors, linked to facilitate continuous paths. These gardens overlook the patio and close to the street with thick vegetation and the extension of the lattice of the facade, seeking to isolate an ideal environment for an urban environment only relatively friendly.
