The architectural vision for this installation was to create a dual-use new-build construction: the main use being the creation of a residential centre aimed at senior citizens. At the same time, the installation must also contain a freely accessible retail area. Both requirements have been converted into a compact and functional building, which allows the people inside to move freely without architectural barriers and which offers the high levels of technical performance to enable continuous daily use of both areas.
For this project, GARCIA FAURA undertook the fabrication and installation works for a set of metal enclosures for the installation. In real terms, 189 doors, windows and balconies constructed from aluminium and glass, designed especially to provide maximum comfort to the residential centre occupants, meet the soundproofing and thermal insulation requirements for an installation of this specification. Furthermore, two automatic doors have been installed in the installation entrances.
