The rehabilitation of the ten blocks built in the 1960s happens after grants for degraded residential blocks promoted by the City Hall of Gijón.
The project responds to the image of unity, and its based on functionality, constructive and economic rationality, and optimization of habitability conditions. The result is the elimination of all building pathologies, and the increase of the indoor comfort by isolating external walls and windows.
The new staircases and elevators are inserted in a complex context in social and construction terms. The existing facades are canvas and support for these new portals, evoking in their composition the neighborhood’s historical relationship with the sea.
Besides the economy, the speed and ease of the construction works is decisive to the design decisions. People must keep on living in their flats during the whole process, and therefore the assembly has to be streamlined and as automated as possible.
Prefabrication is the key option. The new structure is executed with steel profiles, mostly pre-assembled in the workshop. And the steps and floors are made with precast concrete slabs to which a surface treatment of epoxy resin is applied.
