The proposal is a response to the criteria required in the competition brief (functionality, constructive rationality, flexibility, sustainability, …). It also seeks to provide greater spatial and architectural quality. The compositional logic has been the foundation of the plastic and constructive discourse.

The architectural solution adapts to the required high density, the different orientations of the plot, the particular position of the intervention within the masterplan, and the research towards achieving a flexible housing model.

The project proposes the construction of a “place” understood as a scenography capable of engaging with its surroundings through vertically proportioned volumes that allow most of the ground to be reserved for public space. These volumes, like inhabited Centaurs, will serve as urban landmarks in the area.

The three towers rest on a base, a solid and horizontal volume that extends along the boundaries of the site. This volume is interrupted at specific points to allow access to the central courtyard, which is conceived as a quintessential public space. The courtyard, as in the volumes of the masterplan, acts as a filter between the pathways leading to the park and the entrances to the dwellings.

The ground floor, the point of contact between private and public space, responds to the environment and its needs. Part of it is allocated to service facilities (a senior center and a business center), while the area adjacent to the park accommodates duplex apartments with private gardens.

The level above the base functions as a meeting place for residents: a landscaped roof that becomes a communal area for neighbors and an urban lookout.

The building has been designed as a model of energy efficiency, combining a suitable passive design with active systems and intelligent controls of high energy performance. Building to live with the sun ensures greater comfort in each dwelling. The southern side of the site maximizes solar access to the housing units and creates a bright, comfortable inner courtyard. Well-lit spaces have positive psychological and physiological effects for those who inhabit them.
