“Bloque 1” integrates 38 apartments divided into four types: the single apartment (for 1 or 2 people), the nuclear apartment (for 2-4 people), the universal access apartment (for 2-4 people, with larger circulating spaces and located in the first floor, adapted to wheelchair users), and the extended apartment (for 4-6 people).

Structural Design

The structural system of Bloque 1 consists of traditional brick masonry, specifically made with Querobabi brick (a locally-made material), with concrete footing foundations. This structural technique was combined with common isolation materials such as extruded polystyrene in order to create a more efficient building climatic-wise.

In addition to structural calculations and design, hydraulic, sanitation, electrical and fire protection installations were designed and revised for this project.
