Collaboration in a project designed by Josep Pla i de Solà-Morales.

The services building’s design has been based on the environment conditions and the orientation by:

.-opening the building to the town by offering a public space which works as a public passage and open entrance to the building at the same time. It’s connected to the Major Square and the new green urban area, at the same time it creates an alternative itinerary between the new urban area and the center of the town.

.-building a new façade to the street and promote with a façade plan the alignment of the visuals and shaping the starting of the Portal Street. An L shape floor is laid with an additional wing. The interior has a transparent and fluid character.

.-the additional wing allows to control the size of the public space, at the same time creates an space for vehicle parking and service for the commercial spaces at the other side.

.-the public space accessing the commercial spaces and the dwellings is located in a level that works as ground floor from the new street, and as semi-basement floor from the Sant Pere Street.

The tower-building’s design is based on the same premises than the other building: looking for a certain relationship between them but without being mimetic.

All these issues tend to a definition of a “territorial depth” through a spaces sequence from more to less private, favoring the inter-relationship between users and the environment
