This approach to the intervention rises up from the search of shapes that could adapt to the different programs that are required while being enable at the same time to be read together as a whole despite the great disparity of these programs.

There various low height exterior volumes adapt to the surroundings, looking for being kind with the landscape, creating a dialog with it and with the architectures that are placed on it. As a result, we reach an image plenty of different views and a great richness of perspectives.
