| The main difficulty of this project, located in the New Tres Cantos, was to adapt the four eight plants housing blocks to a dramatic 14 meters vertical topography variation of the plot. | ||
| We propose a disabled walking tour, combining ramps and stairs, linked by landscaped garden areas and open residential spaces, a pedestrian street that runs through the plot solving the uneven access to extreme streets, between them and between blocks. Furthermore firefighters have access to these spaces too. | ||
| Access to each block is made through an arcade in basement walk-crossed by this gardened accessible route, allowing access to portals and stairwells, homes, garages, storage, etc. | ||
| The order and constructive rationality suggests a double order façade that visually reduces the scale of the blocks. This is achieved using a mass clear brick and red-sand colored vertical stripes between two consecutive floors reddish. Basement plants are finished in concrete. | ||
| The community garden is partly paved or landscaped with vegetated slopes of herbal aromatics and two colors “jabre” gravels for playing areas. | ||
| Staircases and elevators distributed to each plant and, through corridors opened to natural light and visual north reference to the mountains of Madrid, to the homes located both sides of it. | ||
| A single type of public housing (renting for young people) with variants for disabled; living, dining, kitchen and bedrooms on facades and toilets ventilated threw shafts. A strictly modular and flexible proposal for an easy and economic maintenance. | ||
