The program of the building consists of 27 houses distributed in 5 floors and ground floor, and two commercial premises with mezzanine facing Casp Street; 1- and 2-bedroom homes, distributed with 3 homes on Casp Street and 2 in the interior of the square, except on the upper floor where 2 larger homes are projected (3 bedrooms). On the ground floor, 3 duplex homes with their own garden are distributed on the interior façade of the island, while the premises face the street. In the basement, a 2-storey car park can accommodate 34 vehicles.
The façade is subject to the Eixample of Barcelona’s strict regulations and is solved through fixed panels formed by special pieces of stoneware in a vertical position framed by a thin frame of stainless steel, just like aluminum sliding shutters that give you the privacy and light control you need.
The façade of the square’s courtyard is fixed with a steel lattice that frames the large windows of the houses. Sun protection and privacy are solved here with lacquered aluminum folding shutters that will re-create a changing and moving façade from the outside.
Solar collectors for domestic hot water are installed on the roof of the building, connected to the home's air conditioning system to reduce energy consumption.
This fact, combined with the cross-ventilation of all the houses through generous interior courtyards and the passive sun protection that makes up the façades, make the building work with a minimal contribution of active air conditioning.
The main building elements (shutters, stoneware, carpentry) are recyclable. The roof has a zero slope (with EPDM sheet) finished with lightweight concrete slabs, which according to an ITEC study is the least polluting during its construction process and the one that most allows its recycling and reuse.
