架构师提供的文本描述。位于Barri dels Vellexans的公寓楼，是一个非常退化但有吸引力的历史街区。这是一项私人倡议，为恢复市中心提供了一系列公共建议(社会住房、设施)。

该项目承担对环境的责任，并对当前的住房问题作出反应。我们设计了一个19个最小的单位，在30到50平方米之间。一楼是为行动不便的人而设的。

The project assumes the responsibility for the environment, and responds to the current housing problem. We design for a program of 19 minimal units, between 30 and 50 square meters. The ground floor is intended for people with reduced mobility.

住宅不仅仅是小面积的：它们的设计只有极小的隔间，没有流通的区域，更有利于起居室，而且与外部的关系也得到了加强。成对工作的窗户开口从住宅的内部分布中解放出来。在地面一级，适应于行动能力降低的人的单位通过改变其相对于街道的高度，重新调整了他们与环境的关系。

The dwellings go beyond their small size: they are designed with minimal partitions, dispense with circulation areas in favor of living room areas, and the relationship with the exterior is intensified. Window openings that work in pairs are liberated from the interior distribution of the dwellings. On ground level, the units adapted to people with reduced mobility rework their relationship with the environment by modifying their height with respect to the street.

市政条例的同化和修改成为项目进程的关键驱动因素。所需的三层结构是从建筑物的高度分布中分离出来的，底座在一楼窗户的水平上升到一半，以使底层更加重要。该条例所设立的开口的垂直重叠，须由轴线的延续性重新解释，而在该轴线上，某一尺寸的开口与其大小的两倍的开口交替摆动。拐角处的檐篷消失了，在两条街道上都产生了不同的情况。传统的立面上的固体-空隙比例是倒置的，以响应一个新的，小型住宅，与高质量的自然照明。在外观上引入的节奏和变化促进了对其表面的持续感知，一种伴随着Viana和Torno de l‘Hospital街道的“纹理”。

Assimilation and alteration of municipal ordinances become key drivers of the project process. The required tripartite composition is split from the height distribution of the building levels, the base rises up halfway through the level of the windows of the first floor to give more importance to the ground floor. The vertical overlap of the openings established by the ordinance is reinterpreted by the continuity of the axis around which openings of a certain size and double the size oscillate alternately. The cornice disappears around the corner, generating different conditions on both streets. The traditional solid-void proportion on the facade is inverted to respond to a new, small dwelling, with high quality in terms of natural lighting. The rhythm and variation introduced on the facade facilitates a continuous perception of its surface, a “texture” that accompanies Viana and Torno de l’Hospital streets.
