With the idea of unity in mind, two blocks are arranged that appear as clean, pure prisms, clad in prefabricated concrete, that repose on a solid plinth of in-situ concrete. The separating space is where the most fundamental urban stage is established: the interior communal garden.All of the entrances are derived from this urban space, by this way we reinforce its character of centrality and public interaction.

As an architectural strategy, a compact and solid aspect was sought for the exterior whilst permeability and lightness was applied to the interior. In order to achieve this, the bedrooms present a long iteration of almost square openings, regularly placed in such a way as to organize the façade through the placement in series of a single cladding panel type. In this way, the expressive potential of the concept of concrete prism is maintained, being supported lightly on the cruder plinth below.
