Entering to the neighbourhood across the main entry we find the interior yard with the community pool and the entry of every houses.
Each house also has a private yard in front of its entries limited by its gates.
The houses are compound by 2 floors. At the floor 0 there are the kitchen, the sitting and dinning room and a full wc with shower and heading to the first floor across the upstairs we arrive to the 2 bedrooms, another full wc with bath and the balcony.

Basicaly, there are 3 different kinds of houses but the rooms ara generaly the same at each one.
As a complex mainly thought as a holidays apartments, these houses are not spacially big but are equiped enought to be occuped for a long time easily.
Underground, entering across the main facade we find the parking with 32 places. Once we left the car we arrive to the interior yard by an upstairs.
The pool is a good dimensions amusement with 9.3m width, 15.3m large and 2m deep at the deeper zone and 1m deep at the other side.

Project: library

 

This is the project in which we develope a library as a singular building, but in this construction we will find more spaces than just a library.
The place of this building is a two-levels terrain and the build will be situated at the higher level and flying over the lower level.
The design is an "square donnut" with two floors.

We can get into the building passing trought the main door at one of the facades of the interior "hole" after we walked under the first part of the library.

Once in, we find the information point and the w.c.'s.
If we walk to the left, we enter to the main library. It's a double-space room with work places at the two levels with a hight amount of natural light due to the top part of the facades are made of glass.  
Walking to the right, the first stop of the way is the kids library, an special space for the learning and fun of the children without disturbing the adults.
We keep walking head to the multipurpose room, ready for theaching, meetings, essays, etc...
and over this last space, at the upstairs, there are the "group-work" rooms. These rooms may be rented by groups of people who need to work together.
Part of the second floor is destinated to a terrace, a good place to take a brake during the work time.
