![]() The proposal suggests a free appropriation of each space and incorporates any possible changes in the program over time according to the wishes or needs of its inhabitants. The location of a gallery in this position allows a passive preheating of the dual-flow ventilation system air supply during winter, while in the summer the gallery is reconfigured as a shadehouse and the air intake necessary for the ventilation of the interior spaces comes from the north façade.Ī set of ceiling fans strengthen summer cooling by improving the temperature sensation in the event of high heat, avoiding the need for air conditioned systems. With this intention it proposes a construction system that guarantees good insulation and the possibility of cross-ventilation as well as the maximum use of solar radiation thanks to the southern orientation of one of its façades. In addition to reducing the energy embedded in the construction materials and the minimizing their foreseeable maintenance throughout their useful life, the project makes a significant effort to reduce the energy demand necessary to guarantee the comfort of its living spaces. ![]() The location of a single core of vertical circulation in a central position gives access to all the apartments (which have opposing façades facing north and south) along the walkway that forms the most urban face of the open block against the green area of the street Tomàs Carreras i Artnau. ![]() The apartments are composed of six rooms of 12m2 each capable of containing a multiplicity of uses and designed to be connected at will by means of sliding panels. The use of cross-laminated timber panels (CLT) for the construction of the volume above ground brings back the traditional structural wall typology and defines living spaces of similar dimensions between loadbearing elements. Located in an urban environment of transition between the compact city and the open block ensanche characterized by an important presence of public facilities, the project proposes the design of 35 apartments based on criteria of program flexibility and reduction of the carbon footprint throughout the life cycle of the building.
