The site is located on a block in the Eixample district that is diagonally divided (north-south) by the old Carretera d’Horta a Cerdanyola. This old road divide840m2 (aprox.)s the block in two, creating an internal pedestrian walkway and an open space for public use, where a municipal facility is located.

The two party walls proposed for this site frame the northern entrance to this interior courtyard. They are both blind, having been exposed when the block’s interior courtyard was opened. They have never been treated as façades and yet they are visible to anyone entering the courtyard via the Fort Pius Institute. Two paths meet here at different heights: below the bridge at street level is the entrance to the courtyard, and above the bridge is the entrance to the Institute.

The party walls included in this project belong to two properties on Carrer de Nàpols. The main party wall, with the largest surface area, belongs to the building at Carrer de Nàpols 103. The party wall is finished with metal sheeting. The smaller party wall belongs to the building at Carrer de Nàpols 99 and is finished with ceramic tiling. There is an additional wall at the bottom from the old neighbouring buildings, which should be preserved.

The architectural proposal must turn these party walls into new façades, resolving the rigidity and landscape impact of the party wall at number 103 by opening new windows. There is a great deal of interest from the occupants of this property in the creation of these openings and the possibility of adding balconies.
