The preliminary project involves the construction of two residential buildings (main house and outbuilding), on two adjoining lots sites in Gavà (Barcelona) in Calle de Alcanar, of Messrs Sergey and Olga properties. The lots are accessible directly from the public road called Calle de Alcanar.
The two houses will be placed in two lots in a central position, at a distance from the highway and from the eastern border of more than 8.00 ml; from the southern and northern boundaries of more than 5.00 ml.
The parcels of land measuring a total an area of approx. 2153.99. The soil, of rectangular shape, is currently free from houses and has height differences of up to 1.00 ml. There are many trees of the species Pinus pinea. The lots are already fenced. Given that the site is placed in proximity of the sea, and then it is plausible the presence of water at limited depth, as well as the likely presence of a stratigraphy of not appropriate medium, it is not recommended the realization of a completely basement and it suggests the adoption a basement. The project was developed in accordance to the extent possible, the needs expressed by the client, in particular requests related to functional aspects.
To take advantage of the characteristics of the lot has opted for an architectural continuity of the two houses, which will be raised by about 1.50 mL compared to the street level, through a single base reached by flights of stairs on each side. The base will serve to host as well as the outdoor pool also feature some of the houses in the basement. The Pedestrian and driveway access to the two houses are separated: the pedestrian entrance to the main house is located on the north-western side, while the annexe is located on the south-western side; the entrance driveway of the mansion is located at the center of the lots from which is accessed via a ramp to the garage (for two cars) located in the basement; the vehicle entrance to the annexe is located on the southwestern side and access to two outdoor parking spaces. The main house is characterized by an architectural volume with a pitched roof with a slight slope and accentuated extruded linda.

The gardens that surround the base will be coated with white-colored plaster and can accommodate plant elements (flowers and shrubs) typical of the climatic zone, which will serve as visual protection for internal activities to homes. The area designated for the garden, which will maintain the natural morphology, will be sown with grass planting of plants (species Pinus pinea) in an equivalent number of how many will be torn down to build the buildings. E 'planned rebuilding of the fence on the street front that will have maximum height of ml. 2.00 from the platform surface and will be built with walls lined with white-colored plaster; on the fence will be derived the new pedestrian entrance and driveway, with steel gates anthracite gray.
