The project consists of a housing complex located at the intersection between Avinguda García Faria and Selva de Mar, known as Illa de la Llum (Island of Light), and forms part of the Diagonal Mar operation. The urban plan clearly defines a 32,940 m2 site available for construction to be shared between three buildings. Everything is very precise, with little room for manoeuvre, and responds to a highly debatable model that ignores the links between façades and street.

This project clearly rejects the compositional obsession with slenderness, as if it were an indisputable compositional value. In fact, the towers make maximum use of the available floor space, allowing for the construction of dwellings of different sizes and layouts. They reach the compulsory height and the excess buildability that would result from identical storeys on all floors is reduced and adjusted by deliberate excavations, recesses that increase as height is gained and which are made in north-facing areas, areas without sea views or others.
