The building has 47 social housing apartments, 20 temporary homes for vulnerable people and underground car parks. This is the first municipal project to combine in one development two social housing programmes that are usually separate.

The rental apartments provide access to quality public housing at below market price to people who need it, while temporary accommodation is a resource to accommodate people at risk of exclusion. The latter also offers services to enable residents to regain autonomy with the assistance of social workers, classes in writing curriculums, etc.

This building won an award for Spain’s best new social building of 2018 at the AVS prizes of the Spanish Association of Housing and Land Managers. The award values aspects such as energy-saving measures, the suitability of the design to its setting, innovation, construction systems that allow natural air-conditioning of homes, the use of recyclable materials and the price-performance ratio of the intervention.

The 47 social rental apartments in the building are between 42 and 58 m². They are one- and two-bedroom properties with a living room-diner and open kitchen, bathroom and terrace. The 20 temporary apartments are between 20 and 30 m², designed as a single integrated space containing a living room-diner, kitchen and bedroom, with a separate bathroom. These amenities also have a communal living room and dining room. The south-facing apartments have a winter garden, a space between the outer door and the interior that is similar to a greenhouse, according to the architect Judith Leclerc, which improves insulation and harnesses solar energy when it is cold, and provides ventilation in the summer.
