The new university housing is located in the same block as the Vallès School of Architecture. The proposal aims to maintain the balance between the existing buildings, the outdoor spaces and the new student residence, which consists of two blocks of ground floor and flats parallel to the street with a large central atrium.

The residence programme for architecture students makes it possible to imagine intense cohabitation between users, both on an individual level, thanks to the flexibility of the interior of the dwellings, and on a collective level, thanks to the potential use of the atrium as a space for social events. The project is committed to industrialised construction by using a single type of prefabricated concrete housing module without distribution and with the minimum of fixed elements, simplifying the finishes and installations.

The majority of these elements are dry construction and therefore all modules and their finishes are removable and recyclable or reusable. The building is resolved on two floors to take advantage of the existing topography, making the accesses practicable without the need for lifts and reducing 50% of the built m² of walkways and stairs. The central atrium is covered in order to create an intermediate, bioclimatised space, which greatly improves the energy efficiency of the building while saving on enclosures. The life cycle analysis shows that the project reduces the energy associated with the materials by 50% and the energy demand by 70% compared to a standard building according to CTE (Technical Building Code) regulations.
