As the architect, from the begining of the project, I set out the following main goals:

Make the most of the characteristics of the terrain and enhance them by choosing the perfect orientation.

Design a set of housing complex that escapes from the everyday conventionalism of collective housing, and that is able to transmit and generate feelings. I want people to be overcome with emotion as soon as they enter the complex and feel the beauty and harmony that each home provides, without sacrificing functionality.

Provide enough space, lighting, and climatic comfort in eachone of the dwellings, instead of looking to maximize the number of units.

Complement the project with suitable landscaping and common areas, that together with the lighting, add to make those relaxing moments even more magical.

This project has surpassed all expectations, achieving an architecturally sound and harmonious dwelling for this day in age, as well as unifying all the requirements and targets that I proposed, summarizing the project in a single word: UNIQUE.
