- program pretension of 54 flats and 20 work units
- program: T1 of 50m2, T2 of 100m2, T3 of 150m2 and T4 of 200m2
- scale articulation from barrio with a garden (between high elevation – stop, rest, contemplation – and lower elevation of constant passage of people and cars – link between barrio nucleus and road E.N. 206)
- maintaining the rural memory of the place with its stone walls, and preserving its marks of a peregrination path, one entangles parallelepipeds on the terrain and, by supporting walls, one creates new public spaces; buildings hang from the supporting walls setting free the ground level to accommodate the arrival and parking space
- central corridors at all the buildings longitude terminate in living rooms that tear the buildings transversely
- neutrality of spaces (private zones and common zones do not distinguish by their dimensions, but by their use or strategical positioning towards the entrance and services zone)
- flats transversal space loose the building density permitting, sometimes, to see through the front building, by the layout of living rooms one in front of the other
