The two buildings here presented, 16 dwellings one and 18 the other, generate a common language with the public space between them as an interconnecting stage. Both of the buildings have several differences from the origin, one three floors and the other four, one with ground floor housing and the other with shops and retail, etc. The purpose is to establish a system of common solutions to solve each building own features.

The construction is made with care on the details and on the syntax, assuming the scant resources with which this private housing promotion of basic prices counts. It has been sought a fitting and ordered interior organization that qualifies the inner spaces, always guaranteeing two orientations for each house and a construction system applying the methods and processes used for buildings of this kind on the surrounding area. An accurate and controlled development of the systems to use in the construction gives way to a coherent architectonic proposal.

Thanks to the white façades and to the white colored glass framing, the solar radiation is importantly diminished. The sliding panels allow adapting the interior spaces of each building to the outside climatic condition by blocking solar radiation over the windows depending on the time of the year, hour, and orientation. These same sliding panels allow keeping a high level of adjustable air ventilation with the windows open at the same time, without losing privacy or security on crossed ventilated houses.

The buildings capacity to change and mutate because of the sliding panels allows, with limited resources, to generate in a basic building an infinite and unpredictable number of different situations with dynamism and attraction. Is mainly a building that creates its architectonic and urban image thanks to the interaction of users along winter or summer, night or day, orientation, occupation of the house or even the mood of its inhabitants.
