The project's most characteristic aspects arise from the critical revision of the current planning, replacing the closed block with a system of staggered bands for a more satisfactory integration of the whole in the place, a more rational systematisation of the free space and better conditions of sunlight and privacy of the residential space, given that the block did not present a correct geometric configuration. This was especially evident in the main alignments and in the corners in addition to the difficulties of the staggering given the steep slope.

Nor did it seem to be ideal for generating the urban fabric. These facts justified the drafting of a Detailed Study that redefined the alignments and gradients, establishing an alternative model to the one defined by the planning.

The main contents are:

1. Three loops with heights of four and six storeys are pinned and shaped to model the spaces between them. The movement in shape and section allows for large interior courtyards.

2. Two different heights for each side of the loop allows a far more interesting volume without an increase of the built area.

3. Despite the freedom of movement of the buildings in the interior of the block, alignments with the surrounding streets are respected. On the northern boundary of the site, the alignment to the street is preserved with a series of three blocks combined with two voids, all of which are identical in size.

4. All units have the same orientation: East and West.
