The project is at a site near Glòries. To respond to the complexity of the place, we use two different strategie. Firstly, the continuous base observes the Eixample grid, and, secondly, the volumes of the dwellings continue the sequence of neighbouring freestanding blocks that respond to Diagonal.

The building comprises a base for public and social uses, and three volumes for domestic use. Each of the latter has seven or eight dwellings per landing with a central corridor that is lit from the ends, where it widens to house the communications shaft in the north and a communal balcony with views in the south. The roof of the building’s base, which houses the community centre and the health facility, forms a communal terrace for the residents of the three buildings, with bench seating at the height of the treetops so they can enjoy the views. Inside the dwellings, the 40 square metres that represent living space are arranged in a sequence of spaces organised around a central nucleus that houses the bathroom. Sliding doors open up the rooms to extend the spatial experience. As doors are opened or closed, the space is transformed and can be used in different ways, allowing differing degrees of privacy.
