They then got thinner. A municipal alignment procedure \u2014 expediente de alineaciones<\/em> ALI\/1\/18, the council formally redrawing the street boundary \u2014 took the plot from 1,058.18 m\u00b2 to 1,026.21 m\u00b2. The scheme had to be re-set against the new line. The design statement puts it plainly: the original approach was not changed, only adjusted to the new boundary.<\/p>\n The adjusted scheme uses 808.75 m\u00b2 of countable floorspace, a ratio of 0.788 against the 0.83 permitted. Site coverage lands at 49.04 % (503.26 m\u00b2) against the 50 % cap. That leaves roughly 43 m\u00b2 of floorspace unused. On a site this size, it is running things close.<\/p>\n Eight dwellings, A to H, each sitting on a platform at its own level. The waffle slabs step down with the ground rather than against it. Dwellings A and B are entered straight off street level; the other six from the vertical circulation core and its lift. That lift is what makes an accessible route workable on a slope like this.<\/p>\n The mix runs from two to four bedrooms, all with a living-dining room and two bathrooms. H is the largest, at 114.57 m\u00b2 of internal usable area (superficie \u00fatil<\/em>, measured inside the walls), with four bedrooms and a private stair up to its own roof terrace. B has a private stair down to the level below. The rest of the programme is 16 parking spaces, one of them a designated accessible bay, and 8 storage rooms. The communal pool has 26.00 m\u00b2 of water, 79.31 m\u00b2 of garden and a 1.20 m paved surround.<\/p>\n The structure is what allows the stepping: a reinforced concrete raft, a perimeter earth-retaining wall, and columns carrying waffle slabs set at different levels.<\/p>\n The fa\u00e7ade is a cavity wall: an outer leaf of perforated clay brick, a closed cavity, and an independent inner lining of mineral wool insulation and two layers of plasterboard. It is rendered in cement mortar and finished in white pliolite paint. Windows are thermally broken aluminium with double glazing and solar control, and the shutters are insulated aluminium, motorised. Inside, AC-3 engineered timber flooring in the hall, living rooms, bedrooms and corridors, and porcelain tiling in bathrooms and kitchens.<\/p>\n One decision only makes sense on a slope. The roofs nobody walks on are not left in a bare technical finish; they get a decorative one, because they are looked down on from the higher ground around \u2014 here the fifth fa\u00e7ade is the first one the neighbours see. The roof terraces are anti-slip porcelain tile.<\/p>\nThe eight dwellings, one by one<\/h2>\n
