The site is located in a residential block between Carrer del Rosselló and Passatge de Mariner in the Eixample district of Barcelona’s city centre, on the border between the Dreta de l’Eixample and Camp d’en Grassot i Gràcia Nova neighbourhoods and the
Sagrada Família landmark, which is very close by. The proposed set of party walls faces the Jardins de Caterina Albert, a huge park-like square, creating a spacious block interior that lies between a narrow passage and one of the wide streets typical of the Eixample.

The current party walls that are the focus of the project belong to several buildings constructed between 1920 and 1935 using traditional techniques. The façades of the buildings are finished with lime stucco, with wrought iron for the ironwork and wood for the exterior walls.

As it is contextual, the proposal should take into account the atmosphere of the site, respecting certain environmental values. The finishing materials, their colours and the dynamics of the architectural openings are aspects that can be found in the surrounding area.
