In the development of the project, from the outset the client trusted us in the approach to the work methodology, where a priori we only had the immediate, physical limitations of the territory on which the architectural piece is installed.
In the face of a non-existent typology or model, the volumetric study and the hollow-ground relationship are determining elements in this proposal, which is born of the desire to read what we understand to be the keys to a place that currently provides a very diverse architectural response in terms of shapes and scales.

The incorporation of this piece into the urban fabric in the area abounds in this diversity that we consider enriches the historic city. The building, without renouncing its marked individuality, tries to digest in its structure the closest urban fabric and expose it to the city. Its volumetry is more the result of this tense reading of the urban sequence than of the formal composition of its different parts in relation to the built.

The building’s relationship with the city is more intense if we take into account its position in height with respect to its dominant plane, which also makes it an object that attempts to export not only its singularity as a contemporary piece inserted into the historic cornice but also the idea of an architecture committed to its process of formal evolution over time.
