Among the different possibilities of occupying the plot, we decided to design three parallel blocks, perpendicular to Cardenal Bueno Monreal street. We think this arrangement will be more effective to protect housings from the loud noise of traffic, it will guarantee both good ventilation and exposure to sunlight and, moreover, it will allow to open each block on demand.
Another advantage of this organization is the enrichment of free spaces on the ground floor, creating shade and sunlight areas, gardens and paved surfaces. On the north half of the site, two paved patios cover the basement area, allocated for parking. Southwards, the garden extents between and under the blocks. Dividing north and south sides, an access-control gallery supports the caretaker’s office and the main staircase and lift of each block, cafeteria and parking access. The conference hall, the gym and the other rooms of the ground floor have its facade to Antonio Maura street.
Almost all the apartments (with four bedrooms) are placed along a corridor on second floor. The rest apartments (the two bedrooms ones and apartments for disabled) are situated on the ground floor. Back in the second floor, the corridor gives access to apartments livings and permit the layout and maintenance of services. In addition, the corridor receives the sunlight from cellar windows that reach the roof.
Inside the apartments, the living leads (downstairs or upstairs) to the first or third floor, flexible areas containing two, three or four bedrooms, each one with its own sink, and the bathrooms. Bedrooms are divided by compact pieces of furniture that hold wardrobes, shelves and bunk beds.
Finally the upper floor, unterstood as a place for rest and leisure, houses study rooms for work groups.
