The strategy of this project is fundamentally to adapt the homes to the needs and lifestyles of their tenants, creating a better relationship between the municipality and the environment. The final objective is to achieve, from the minimum intervention, to make the homes flexible enough so that they can accommodate different types of users, promoting complicity between them at the same time as creating areas of extra space that work as a gallery-winterhouse to improve the thermal quality of the blocks.
In the same strategy of improving the diversity of the municipality's residential offer, it is proposed to build homes on the roofs, generating new typologies, improving the thermal capacity of the block, densifying the area and creating a system of financing the project at a global level.
Regarding the contact between the housing blocks and the public space, it is proposed to create a system of workshops on the ground floors and unused community spaces to offer decentralized production and work space that diversify the urban fabric, which is mostly housing, generating this fact a dormitory city effect. This specific project was born in the academic framework, being the final project of Daniel Serrano, the founding architect and director of RODAL.
