It is a large building of 262 social dwellings on a huge parcel in Carabanchel, to the south of Madrid.
Our strategy is to construct a continuous ring around the perimeter of the site, phased to suit the slope and setback in opposite corners of the parcel in order to minimize its size. These setback points provide the main entrances.

Access to the portals occurs at the street for the apartments aligned with the sidewalk. The rest of the access points are from the interior garden.
Cores serve four flats per floor in most cases.
Parking is also solved as a circuit, adapted to the structural bays, parking place and street dimensions. The shops are located at the perimeter of the plot. The largest shops are located on the busiest street.
