DISTRIBUTION

Basement floor: A lifting platform will be utilised for vehicle access to the underground car park. On that floor there will be as well the service spaces and a compartmentalised central space between gym and theatre.

Ground floor: The design criterion for this floor is the fluidity between the different spaces, the transparency from the access to a high-rise double space where the expressiveness of the staircase appears, combining the circular shape and the lightness of the glass. The idea of this level is the continuity and relationship between the different spaces.

First floor: The structure is clear, four rooms at the corners and a central space that connects the front and rear facades, it will also connect with the ground floor through a double space where the staircase and dining room are located.

Second Floor: With the construction of a new high-rise ceiling, the suite will be the main piece, giving great expressiveness to the spaces.

Top floor: The light reflections are combined with the design of several platforms that reinterprets the classic rooftops of Barcelona, giving the building an exterior dimension and crowning the complex with a pergola that protects from the sun and it gives privacy from neighbours.
