The city council promoted an ambitious operation to revitalise the Roquetes neighbourhood by building new municipal offices and subsidised housing. With this material he wanted to revitalise activity in the area and give continuity to two different and adjacent urban fabrics, one on a slope and self-built in the 1960s, and the other on the plain formed by a more recent expansion and with a different type of property development that gave it a different scale.

The project opted for the creation of a generous square that was defined by a continuous building that embraced it and contained all the required programme. Situated on a steep slope, it sought horizontality, avoiding the ramps leading to the underground car park, which always break up the plan, creating undefined and gloomy areas, and the maximum number of plane trees possible were planted.

The Town Hall building was very attentive to the many virtues of the neighbouring self-buildings, especially their extraordinary richness in the transitions between exterior and interior, normally based on sequences with an abundance of courtyards, terraces, pergolas, trees and plants.

All this influenced different themes and especially the way of entering, which was planned through a half-hidden courtyard, protected by a large tree and treated as a generous vestibule from which one could access any of the interior rooms. Its general appearance, from the way it was laid out so that it could be seen from the two main streets that penetrated the adjoining fabrics to the treatment of its volumetry, broken up in some areas or treated with more emphasis in others, was born of the desire to give maximum continuity to the two fabrics and to preside over and give meaning to the square.
