The new building is developed between dividing walls and unfolds into two volumes -forming only one-, adapting its heights to those of the adjoining buildings:
A) 7-storey volume : it is attached to the adjacent building to match its height. Finish: Textured Rust L-shaped open balconies for visual reception when approaching from Alicante.
B) Volume 5 floors : It descends 2 heights to reach the maximum height of the cornice of the built block. Finish: Plain white washed. Holes arranged as figures on a white background.
Low level:
A common base of black slate is in charge of providing a joint connection to the commercial premises and access to the hall.
