54 Social Dwellings in El Besòs, Barcelona

Peris + Toral arquitectes 


An open block presents a low volume and a tower connected by a bioclimatic atrium thanks to which all the apartment units, meant to be rented out, face two directions.

The artisanal bricks baked with biomass provide inertia to the inner void – which acts as a collector or a solar chimney, depending on the season – and are bonded to form lattices airing the dwellings.

The ten-meter bay results in a flexible floor plan that offers three different types of accommodations, in accordance with how the bedrooms are distributed, but all of them have the benefit of a small outdoor space.
