Serras House
Oriol Bohigas i Guardiola, David Mackay, Josep Maria Martorell i Codina
The house is located on a plot with a steep slope, which goes from street to street. The programme is very extensive and covers 620 square metres and includes a small museum of old cars. The solution proposes two separate bodies, formed by a metal structure that supports the different slabs and creates a gauge that contains both the interior and exterior spaces. The level of the bedrooms and the museum takes the form of a basement. On the upper floor, where it is accessed, both bodies come together to form the large living space. The project investigates a formal order that integrates the cubic image of the house, the logic of the circulations, the independence of the living room enclosures with respect to the structure and a well-adjusted adaptation to the slope of the plot. From the entrance, the house can be read as a staircase of several sections that, after accessing each part of the programme in an orderly manner, stopped at the bottom, where the swimming pool is.1977 - 1981

Social Housing Complex in Canovelles
Martínez Lapeña-Torres Arquitectos, Lluís Cantallops Valeri, José Antonio Martínez Lapeña, Elías Torres Tur, Miguel Usandizaga Calparsoro
Set of privately developed housing with state subsidy social housing regulations, with an arrangement in isolated blocks of three floors. Each house is made up of three tunnel formwork modules, with a group of modules on a single level and another group with three overlapping modules - triplex. The first group is organised from an uncovered public passage that gives access to the stairs. The gardens of the houses on the ground floor and the reduced height of the blocks contribute to the tree-lined interior street atmosphere. The exterior of the complex is made of brick. The concrete walls of the prefabricated tunnels only appear on the stairs, where thermal insulation is not required. The arrangement of the blocks that organise the group of triplexes gives rise to pedestrian crossings that are at a different level from the parking and circulation streets, and that give independent access to the entrances of the houses and their gardens. The complex is completed by a commercial building and shops on the ground floor of one of the blocks.1977 - 1983

Simon Logistics Warehouse
Clotet, Paricio & Associats, Lluís Clotet i Ballús, Ignacio Paricio i Ansuategui
The automated warehouse was a large container that had to support a constant and intense flow of incoming and outgoing goods. A first manipulation and control area were treated as an antechamber to the large space full of shelves between which a sophisticated there was robot that accessed any point in the space. The large unit, which was 100 m long, was covered with 46.5 m metal trusses of located at a height of 15 m. They were supported by a concrete capital, of 1.2 x 6 m in plan, which distributed its load on a hollow rectangular pillar built with 20 cm thick block. The juxtaposition of these pieces, individualised by the calligraphy of the downspouts, formed the two large walls of the lateral façades. By means of a slight change in the texture of the blocks, a three-meter-high plinth was differentiated on the walls, extending towards the entrance area, defining the loading and unloading yard for trucks, the car park of employees and also embraced a small construction dedicated to offices and services that was placed in such a way as to not interfere with accessibility to the industrial unit. The ends of any unidirectional structural option are, by their very nature, of very different characteristics to the longitudinal sections. The project chose to demonstrate this and treated the two testers as light enclosures very similar to the roof. The trick that was produced in the vertical plane by following the inclination given by the capitals was used to place two large skylights that bathed the interior floors of the unit homogeneously.1987 - 1988
