Introduction

The housing project in height, designed by Dutch architects studio MVRDV in collaboration with architect madrileña Lleó Blanca, wants to break the excessive uniformity of the planned route for the planning, which in almost all the residential plots, the configuration of Apple closed 6 floors. However, the projected volume for the plot TR-22, developed in 21 plants and emerge as a benchmark for the city and territory.
