This is a competition for the central building of emergency and civil protection for La Manga, a coastal area that greatly increases its population in summer, thus creating the necessity for a building east such as this one. Similar to a lifeguard´s tower, the proposal is basically an elevated platform with an overlooking deck and around its perimeter accumulating certain uses under it so as not to excavate at the site.
A large ramp leads from the level of an intermediate beach level, which coincides with that of the nearby shopping centers, home to great activity in the summer. A double set of stairs, lifts and elevators connect it to the level of citizen services. At beach level there is a general parking for ambulances and fire crews.
The roof is used for helicopter landing.
