Introduction
The project involved the creation of a new wall and entrance for pedestrians and vehicles to a house built in 1986 in the urbanization of La Levantina in the town of Sitges 36km from Barcelona.
At the time when the house was built it was surrounded by rural land used for growing vines and the population density was very low so that vehicles are parked in the house against her in the street. Vehicles were kept inside the walls of the house only if they would remain unemployed for a period longer than the abitual.
In the years following the creation of the C-32 during the Olympic Games of 1992 the area was gaining popularity and desidad people creción sonsiderablemente to the point that above all the traffic and parking became a problem. The vehicles parked within the plots became a daily practice in the area.
That's when the owners of the house, a couple with one child, they decided to automate the system of gates for vehicles since the operation off the car to open the door and back to the vehicle, plus moelsta often gave to jam in a small street entrance not too wide.
Finally chooses to replace the entire wall and the entrance doors of both vehicles and pedestrians.

The top of the roof has two remaining light from the central longitudinal axis to the sides to avoid envalsamiento rainwater. Moreover once the concrete is curing varnish with waterproof material from the top to prevent water leaks were most likely produced by subjecting the structure to prolonged periods of rain due to its low thickness
