The building is designed as a series of adjacent N-S oriented bays, located at the highest level of the plot, at elevation +882.80, and consists of a ground floor and first floor above ground level and a partial basement to house facilities. It is an exempt building, which follows the geometrical and constructive criteria of traditional architecture, with features such as the gabled roof ends, the framework and the wood paneling, etc… At the same time, it allows to distribute the different uses associated with the foundation in 5 longitudinal bays oriented from north to south.
A key element of the building’s environmental strategy is the minimization of the building’s energy consumption during the construction and use phases. For this, materials without embedded energy and the incorporation of passive strategies have been chosen, playing with the orientation, shape and characteristics of the skin, as well as renewable energy systems such as geothermal, biomass boiler and energy storage by change phase, to minimize the energy demand of the building.
