Built close to the Girasol building in Madrid, this is one of the first works in which Coderch applies the recessed plan typology in the form of a comb, which will be developed in subsequent larger-scale actions in the housing complexes for Urquijo Bank and of the Garages of Sarrià in Barcelona.
The building is developed in three bodies of four heights and two apartments per floor, all of them oriented towards the south and the sea. The location, quite far away from the coastline, and the relative density of the urban area within the area of tourist use where it is located, allow the adoption of criteria similar to those of the blocks in urban planning, both in the building typology and in that of the apartments, with a living-dining room, terrace, three bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and laundry room, identical to that of the conventional residential unit. The large terraces that cover the entire width of the living areas stand out, as well as the provision of communal outdoor space with gardens and a swimming pool, elements typical of the complex's holiday destination and second home.
The austere treatment of the façades – all of them made of exposed brick with windows of the same size – which incorporate fixed glass in the sill area to increase the light in the bedrooms, accentuates the powerful volumetry of the building and the author's characteristic formal canons.
