Text description provided by the architects. Commission comes up from a public competition promoted by Zumaia’s council in order to improve accessibility in the San Jose neighborhood. This area, located by the old quarter, is distinguished by narrow streets and steep slopes. Indeed, it suffers from a lack of generous size public space. The proposal, even from the competition stage, seeks to solve the neighborhood’s accessibility by means of an urban elevator that -using an existing concrete core integrated into the housing block and built for this purpose- connects up to five different levels and takes advantage of the new flows of people to reshape public space around them.
