This project is to develop housing unit project 6 (Block H, I and J) of the ¨Cal Doctor¨area.

The volumetry of the buildings is rectangular and is three storeys (Ground Floor + 2), plus attic space, as dictated by law. Each block has a basement for both parking and storage.

The project has been treated with a uniform approach both in respect to volumetry, treatment of façade, typologies and the treatment of community spaces.

Block H has two staircases with two apartments per floor in each stairway, the apartments on the ground floor and first floor have the same functional layout; the second floor apartments share the same functional pattern, and all having attic spaces, are therefore counted as duplexes.

The J block is the same as the H block but with one extra stairway.

Block I has two staircases, one with two apartments per floor and the other (looking on to Calle Riera de la Coma Fosca) with three apartments per floor, except on the ground floor where one of the three dwellings has independent access. On the second floor, the three apartments are duplexes; one of them has the same functional setup as the duplexes on the other staircase in the same block, while the other two duplexes overlooking Calle Riera de la Coma Fosca have similar layouts.

The treatment of the ends of the blocks I and J has been taken into account, as they overlook Calle Riera de la Coma Fosca, one of the main streets of both the development and the municipality.

The southfacing facades are open and permeable enough to take advantage of the sun, the views, the terraces and the private gardens as each apartment features the living and dining rooms on this side.
