The center, located in the extension of Unquera, is aligned to a road in the base of the mountain which characterizes and darkens the plot. We projected and elementary volume slightly elevated from the land, like a palafito. Its abstraction and scale facilitate its implantation as primary element in the heterogenous and little qualified urban fabric. Its distance against the ground level avoids the damages caused by the swellings of the Deva river.
