Construction of a Medical Center in La Garriga, Barcelona

Typologically, CAP de la Garriga is exceptional for the dimensions of the plot, the topography and for its position in the corner of a park. The building, which has, in fact, five floors, appears as a two-storey building from the perspective of Saint Francis Street and as a one-story building with a backdrop of two floors and a deck from the park. This is accomplished by letting the building grow up and down through a system of courts which are located below ground and contain 60% of the overall structure.

The plane that divides them is the yellow terrazzo deck that extends the elevation of the street. The building is resolved with austere materials and colours: the light- gray concrete, the steel of the latticed shutters, and the white and yellow interiors.
