Geriatric Residence in Sant Cugat del Vallès: The building volume adapts to the topography, both for its shape in plan and in section. Strictly respects the gauges and platform levels established in the Special Plan, and through its organic form and the use of terraces with abundant vegetation softens the visual impact of the new building on the site. The outdoor spaces of the plot are urbanized by creating terrace spaces for residents and enabling walking routes between plant elements.
