The punctual element is developed from its nature as a hinge element.

For this reason the relationship of its curved walls and towards the south and west facades flat facades that are related in a tangential and frotal way, forcing us to srround it until we get to the posterior curve wall that directs us towards the interior and the inner spatial sequences where the desired double and triple-height spaces unfold.

The vertical element, like the punctual element, makes use of a similar architectural language and, with a similar approach strategy, directs pedestrians inside through the relationship between straight and curved walls. Once inside, the fluid relationship of single, double and triple height spaces leads us to the roof where a sloping roof makes the gesture of completion, of recognition of the infinite sea and highlighting the tension with the church tower of the contact. It also balances, compositionally, with the stair module that closes the northeast corner of the element.

The horizontal element follows a different strategy from the 2 previous elements, because due to the demands of the program and its location, access is made through the only accessible facade, through which it is accessed, following a staggered route This is done by pivoting around an interior "service module".

The double and triple-height spaces develop thanks to this staggering and justify the inclination of the faรงade that "hides" the rise in size of the spaces, making the transition from urban scales to the infinite scale of the sea.
