The program consists in having seven housing state’s dwellings, two premises and seven parking spaces.

The interior is protected from sun radiation by a latticeworkk skin made of singles of pine tree with a copper treatment. The panels of singles may be changed by the will of the user, so in Winter time, all the panels can stay open and on the other way round in Summer time. The walls are rendered in white color, to respond with the existing buildings nearby, making of it a simple and cheap construction.

All the dwellings have three rooms, one of it is adapted, three of them are dúplex and the remaining three are on the same level. – Flexibility of the dwelling layout is providing, by having all the partitions fixed to the finish floor, so the dwelling can be changed along the time. – The color’s use in the block interior allows to identify the user with their dwelling.
