The location is the old Casernes (quarters) of Sant Andreu neighborhood.Our proposal aimed at becoming a catalyst for transformation and public  activity.The brief established 2 differenciated programs:  a new Sports center and a new building for the city Parks authority. The buildings arrangement left the  largest possible free space to  allow some margin of freedom to study the 5 existing Cedar's new location and create a new open Plaza for citizens enjoyment.

Natural light coming from North, cross ventilation, new Patios , use of Bamboo and other passives and active measures allow us to propose a sustainable and NzEB building
