Two primitive architectures define the architectural tradition of the Pityusic Islands. On the one hand, the primitive architecture, masonry and monolithic, with whitewashed prisms that delimit closed interior spaces; on the other hand, a light and breathable architecture, with porches and shades made from branches of dry juniper. Two formally opposed but functionally symbiotic architectures that together generate spaces of comfort during the different periods of the year. With this idea, the building combines these two vernacular architectures by linking massive and light volumes in a capicuate way throughout the building, giving rise to a permeable comb shape in a north-south direction. Thus, the dwellings are organized between massive server blocks that delimit a more open strip of served spaces. These volumes are sculpted in a staggered way, giving each room the necessary dimensions for its use.

The clear north-south orientation of the site has an impact on the two main facades and shapes their openings. The south façade is more permeable, maximizing the catchment and ventilation surface through large openings due to the reduced width of the core at this point. The north façade, on the other hand, protects the winter from the cold north winds, is more introverted and mostly opaque since the nuclei occupy most of it. One of the main allies and at the same time enemies is the wind. In summer, the prevailing southerly winds (Xaloc and Migjorn) are welcome through the large openings. The change in section between the south and north façades causes what is known as the Venturi effect, a change in pressure and therefore an increase in wind speed, thus enhancing the ventilation of the house. In winter, on the other hand, with the predominantly cold winds from the north (Tramuntana, Mestral or Gregal) it is advisable to shelter, reducing openings and possible unwanted air infiltration.
