The primary healthcare centre is located on the edge of the municipality of Sant Hipòlit, on a plot of land between the back of the last houses and the open countryside. The project responds to the peculiarity of the site: it renounces the logic of the urban form and determines its basic formal features from a diagrammatic reading of the programme. The centre is configured as a single-storey ellipsoidal building, although the perimeter constructs the ellipse by means of a polygon of straight line segments. At the centre of the ellipse is the waiting room, with entrances at both ends and direct access to the consultation rooms, which form a perimeter link. The structure, made up of concrete pillars and beams, faithfully follows this radial layout, even in the orientation of the pillars. The order of the openings emphasises this indifference, as they start from the floor itself and their composition is dictated by the sunshades.

The place retained the charm of the surroundings of all villages. Here, the houses change their serious aspect when they look at the street that dictates their nature - they open up with galleries and terraces, they extend according to the needs of each one and, through orchards and gardens, they extend until they reach the line that separates them from the countryside.

Those who, as children, wondered where the countryside begins, find the answer here. That is why the countryside, here, is more authentic than in other places.

The primary healthcare centre was to be located right at that end. In the middle of the countryside, far from its edges, or next to or inside the village, one could have thought of the front, back or sides of the building - in this case there is neither freedom nor reason to do so.

The building, then, is as it is because there are no reasons for it to be any other way. The functioning, as an architectural artefact, has been approached from our speciality. From there, the particularities, irrelevant in the long run, have been included in an order in which change is foreseen and does not exclude the passage of the building to an activity different from the current one.

The façade materials are: natural concrete in prefabricated slabs, galvanised deployé railings and white Valencia tiles. Inside, the exposed structure paving.
