바르셀로나 유형학적 주택의 전통에서 가치있는 모든 것을 강조하자는 것을 목표로 시작된 이번 프로젝트는 110개의 룸으로 설계되었는데, 각 아파트는 향후 주민들의 요구에 부응하기 위해 잠재적으로 방크기의 확장/축소 및 방 수를 추가하거나 줄일 수 있다.
각 층에는 20개의 룸이 구성되어 있고, 각 층은 기본적으로 5개의 룸이 있는 4개의 아파트로 구분되어 있다. 각 방은 연결되어 있어 따로 복도가 필요하지 않으며, 주방은 중앙에 배치되고 각 방은 침실/거실 등으로 사용이 가능하다. 이 모든 구조의 유연성은 욕실의 위치 덕분에 가능하다.
This project aims to stress everything we considered valuable from the typological housing tradition of the Barcelona’s Eixample. Thus, the type plants are formalized following the distribution of equal (or almost equal) rooms that traditionally characterized the housing blocks of the late s. XIX in the area. A characteristic that has allowed the apartments to modify the way they have been used over the decades without substantial architectonical changes. A seemingly rigid system has allowed nevertheless to change their use in the course of time.
Departing from this typological condition, the building has been designed as a system of 110 rooms which can be used as desired. Each apartment could be potentially expanded or reduced, adding or subtracting rooms, in order to answer to future needs of its inhabitants. With that flexibility in mind, rooms are similar in size eliminating any type of spatial hierarchy and program predetermination.
Each floor contains 20 rooms, and initially, each floor is divided as a set of 4 apartments of 5 rooms each where rooms are connected among them, so no corridor is needed. A kitchenette is placed in the middle acting as the centre, while the other rooms can be used as bedrooms, living rooms, etc. This flexibility is able due to the position of bathrooms, where all installations are placed as points for supply.
