The programme of 40 apartments and business premises on the ground floor is solved with one access giving onto two different stairs.
All main pieces are placed at the façade, while service elements and stairs are placed together around big ventilation yards. The strong volume is mellowed out by wrap around balconies at all levels.
A coated brick façade with three different bright colours establishes a dialogue with the Bonet Castellana’s building placed nearby.
The punched steal plate screens, working as solar and view filters, create a double visual game with the presence of an light volume tinging the powerful image of the building.
