A plot available in an old slaughterhouse that had to be demolished …. next to the cemetery… in an area with a low income population

The project arises from the need to accommodate families with difficulties that irregularly occupied the ruins of the old slaughterhouse in Chipiona. It´s important to point that this plot was located next to the village cemetery.
