The project for 61 apartments in Alella is developed within the detailed plan of ‘Cal Doctor’ on the river bed of the stream ‘la Coma Fosca’.

The volumetric of the plan predetermines two lineal blocks, situated transversally towards the river bed and with the ground floor slightly above the height of the natural surrounding terrain. The project proposes an ordination of the adjacent free space with a system of terraces and podia that give unity to the complex.

The organization of the two buildings is made through an interior gallery that gives access to the different flats distributed in the ground floor, first and second floor. This gallery is crossed by various skylights used as chimneys of light and ventilation. The crossed ventilation of the flats is directed towards the skylights through the double wall that lines the entire perimeter of the gallery. This double wall also serves for the canalization of all the installations for the flats.
