Octavio Cuartero / Candel Arquitectura - Windows, Facade
© Toni Villar

           The building occupies an existing emptiness in an irregular urban layout, produced by the demolition, and replacing what the eclectic and continuous city of the early twentieth century was. Its north façade lends to a 16 meter narrow street that ends at the circular square, where the park of 1912 starts. The plot is diving with one of the period buildings that have been conserved, that with its 3 floors contrasts with the 9 floors of the building constructed to the other side of the street in the 80s. On the other hand the current ordinance forces to the construction of 5 floors plus recessed attic, which necessarily originates/involves an exposed dividing wall visible from the square above the historic building.
