The lot, with an area of 242.16 m2, is bordered to the north by Carrer de Vilanova, to the east by Plaça de les Nacions sen Estat and the Mercat-bus station building, to the west by a partition wall of the neighboring building and to the south with a separation fence from the interior courtyards of the island where the lot is located.
The project is a reform and new construction of the main Social Services building of the Regional Council of the Urgell promoted by the County Council itself. The project includes the large areas of: access area, administrative area, personalized attention offices, meeting room, warehouse, cleaning, services and facilities room In general terms, the building is articulated through the private care rooms.
They configure private access for workers and the care area. A single centered volume up to the ceiling that allows controlled access to the different areas but keeping the worker’s attention path very clear.
Thermally, the building tries to capture the maximum light and sunshine on the south-east facade, warming the more open area which is the workspace. The work room is located on the perimeter of the building which allows all spaces to have natural ventilation and guarantee direct sunlight, while the offices (of sporadic use) articulate the floor plan and have a more central position.
