Nowadays we find a highly densified neighborhood with little green areas and equipments.
The first intention is to enhance de communication axis existing between the most important public spaces in the area. Ruzafa’s Market and the “Parque Central”.
Therefore, one of the premises is to offer a green area to the neighborhood, enhacing it as its main axis.
We keep the sensation of emptiness that absorbs you comparing the continous density of the surrounding buildings avoiding increasing the building`s height hence avoiding visual conflicts with the neigbours, aswell as enhacing the idea of a domestic school scale.

Horizontality and plan extension dominate the design. This is a great oportunity to take advantage of the roof as a green space offered to the neighbours as a alternative to a solid roof.
