Description of the project

Summary

The project was born from the definition of the quality of the interior space, without any concession to its image. Use a simple section composed of two lines of consultation rooms that frame a higher waiting room that receives light from above. A section of three naves, similar to that of a church, where the gaze is directed towards the sky. The waiting room as the main element of the building, like a void surrounded by medical consultations, like a square surrounded by buildings. The simile with a church leads us to think about the possibility of covering that nave with a Catalan vault built with ceramic bricks. All with a will to build a building with traditional materials of the place, trying not to violate the small scale of houses in its surroundings. A large porch receives the citizen in a gesture that wants to be welcomed and open arms.
