The 12 buildings have been developed based on certain planning strategies that meet the conditions of building, habitability, orientation, accessibility and climate development.
1.- We chose to develop only three types of one, two and three bedroom houses and their variants depending on the core of communications oriented south or north. This determination to create only three well-known typologies of the sociological character of the city. More and more people live as a couple, or alone because of the demographic and economic situation of the country, so we discard homes that exceed three bedrooms.
2.- We create through-houses, with double orientation for optimal natural ventilation. The houses are organized in such a way that favors this ventilation, eliminating any interruption of partitions. It is intended a totally direct ventilation between the two facades of the houses. Likewise having two orientations, guarantees us a minimum of adequate lighting inside the same as all the blocks, will have a direct lighting of the sun on its main facade and indirect lighting on its "secondary"
3.- The organization of the blocks is based on sharing a core of communication every two houses per floor. What we achieve is the elimination of community corridors that can serve as residual circulatory spaces. With this action we make that the space that gives access to the houses is less than the corridor and use it for the useful surface of the houses. On the other hand, the ground floor of houses is completely liberated, creating a permeability in this plant so that the landscaped areas enter and form a "whole" together with the urban situation. Not creating homes on the ground floor is not only due to a need for permeability or sponge, but also refers to citizen security. To this we mean that houses located on the ground floor, demand a certain social insecurity, numerous noises, elimination of privacy and lighting since it is the area of the block where less natural lighting access. All these points definitely make the action of placing housing on the ground floor is NOT an option under any concept. Instead. In this ground floor, only commercial and social premises will be located when required and pedestrian access to the blocks.
4. The distribution of housing as we have said before is characterized by two elements: The first is that double-guideline housing is created and the second is to create housing that is as functional as possible and that can lead to changes throughout The life of the neighbors that inhabit them. For this, the house is distributed in two well-defined clear areas. One is the daytime activity zone, which in all cases has the best orientation with the introduction of direct lighting in most solar hours. It is a totally diaphanous space in which it has a kitchen integrated in the living room. This kitchen will always be lodged with the communications core to encourage the necessary fumes and skids. The second zone, is the zone called at night where the rooms are. All have a minimum width of 2.4 meters wide. These rooms have been placed in line with the façade less favorable for the incorporation of direct sunlight, being able to distribute this area according to the needs of the people who will inhabit it, that is to say we create a multifunctional and flexible space so that the citizens can create the width Of room that they prefer. Finally, a functional part is created that separate the two zones. These pieces will be called helpful tablets, which serve both areas. These tablets run through all the blocks in a longitudinal way as if it were a spine where each vertebra has a certain function.
5.- Obtaining a greater useful area per house in relation to the constructed one. This is mainly due to the raised structure system where the structure is a system that is removed to the exterior of the house, forming part of the final image of the blocks. With this, we intend to completely remove the interior pillars avoiding any type of mocheta and duplicate corners. Removal of the cheeks is also accomplished by integrating the installation skates with that central spine previously described. Said increase in useful surface is also made from the construction system from 2D modules mounted in workshop with dry smear that allows us to reduce the thickness of walls.
6.- Reduction of volumetry without losing edificabilidad we have worked on several lines. In the first place we have taken the occupation of the type plant to the maximum allowed, including the overhangs, increasing the number of houses per plant. This type plant also carries, Secondly we have worked on the permitted flights, also using them to almost the possible limit. Those square meters we earn partially offset certain lateral cuts in volumes
