The project is located in a consolidated and dense area of Seville, where a row of diverse commercial premises, disconnected from their surroundings, left exposed party walls and created a narrow, unqualified access to the neighborhood’s facilities. The proposal replaces these buildings with a residential complex that combines market-rate and subsidized housing, completes the block front, and improves the relationship between the building and the urban space.
Two volumes, corresponding to each housing type, are articulated in an “L” shape, following the alignments of León XIII and A. Núñez “Chocolate” streets. The five-story proposal maintains a height consistent with surrounding buildings, favoring its integration into the existing urban fabric. Between the two volumes, a new public square and a passage are created, extending Correa de Arauxo Street, facilitating access to facilities and creating a more direct and comfortable pedestrian route. The square’s front is completed with a three-story volume that resolves and conceals the existing party wall.
The dwellings are oriented both towards the streets and the new square. Whenever plot conditions allow, through-units or corner units are designed, promoting cross-ventilation and maximizing natural light.
The project prioritizes architectural quality and opts for simple, efficient, and easy-to-maintain solutions.
