The building is understood as a “pure box” in which health and sanitary services can be developed. The façades are made of prefaricated white concrete pieces that form a translucid skin for the building.

The construction of this healthcare center was postponed for some years until 2013, when the project had to be adapted, as initially it was designed to place other facilities of the Government of Catalonia. The program of the building is organized on four floors: two above ground level, that correspond to the main and more public program of the health care center, and two basement floors, the B-1 destined to technical premises and personnel use and the B-2 to parking. The new primary health care center has a total of 22 consultation rooms (one double), a multipurpose area with four care points and an area of continuous attention with 4 care boxes. There is also an area for offices, area for health education, storage and staffing area.

The rest of the site is considered as a landscaped area with a gentle slope towards the building without getting in touch, thus generating an English patio in order to ventilate the two basement floors naturally.
