ERNEST LLUCH SCHOOL 1+4
The Ernest Lluch School is a newly created school of a line located in a very dense environment in the neighborhood of la Torrassa in l'Hospitalet de Llobregat on a very compact lot, rectangular in shape and surrounded by multi-family housing between medians and very narrow streets.The school consists of two buildings, one with a ground floor and 3 floors, and a second volume with only the ground floor. Both volumes are placed perpendicularly to generate the new facade and formalize the boundary of the school complex with respect to the closed roads.
On the ground floor, there are three clear cuts in the volumes built to generate 3 distinct accesses. At the ends, in the contacts with one of the partitions of the existing buildings, there are service accesses (wheeled access and access to the kitchen) and at the other partition, weekend access. At the junction between the two built volumes is the main access, formalizing a joint between the two types of building and organizing all the routes at ground floor level.
In the lower body is the dining room and the associated kitchen. The rest of the program takes place in the building on the ground floor and 3 floors above, including the classroom (nursery and primary) on the first floor, and a gymnasium and changing rooms on the semi-basement floor.
