BUILDING ARRANGEMENT:

The program of the building is organized in six parts. Each of them is like a different fire-protection sector. Five of them are allocated to residential area and sociocultural (room modules), and the sixth to service area.

Through an English courtyard of the North side, once can access the units of mentioned floor, facilitating access for the supplies of the center. In the interior, we have put great importance to environmental aspect, studying in detail of dimensional issues, arranging and grouping of functional elements.

In addition, complying with all regulations and technical requirements regarding safety, circulation, mechanical and hygienic issues, we have considered greatly the quality control of the space (normally unregulated) that allows high environmental comfort: sound, lighting, color, tactile feature in the surfaces, interior / exterior relationship… quality and conditions that have extraordinary influence on the mood of users, the environment and the quality of life.

The use of relatively soft materials, soft colors, warm and rather light tones, the control and qualifying natural light (adjustable exterior blinds, translucent elements in the interior…) Artificial light will be warm fluorescent lights, indirect; absorbent ceilings in collective areas.

FAÇADE PROPOSAL

We have selected modulated façade specified by repetition of an equal opening system. Every four rooms (two of ground floor and two of first floor) are grouped together to form a larger opening and give a verticality that when repeated systematically, form a counterpoint to horizontality of the compact volume.
