The project is located in a unique block of the Eixample district, formerly fragmented by the railway and currently opened to new public spaces. Two separate volumes define a large green central courtyard and circulation areas. The building facing the street consolidates the front of the block and the second volume is conceived as an isolated building, even separating itself from the limits of the plot to respond to the existing irregular urban voids.
