In front of a large park, the building is located on a plot of land between trapezoidal-shaped party walls and facing east-west. The street façade generates a large view-oriented porch that serves as an access space and relationship between neighbours. The rear façade incorporates the oblique shape of the plot rotating in search of the morning sunlight and the distant views of the block courtyard. The difference in level between the street and the plot is taken advantage of to create a communal porch linked to the level of the courtyard. 

All the dwellings operate in a similar way, with generic rooms with no specific use except for the central strip, where the services are grouped. The rooms are offset from each other in order to generate diagonals that expand the perception of the flats. A freestanding pillar articulates this meeting and by means of sliding doors the spaces communicate or isolate from the rest of the house.
