The project of 108 protected housing facilities is located next to the barracks of the toll road of Extremadura and is the western door of Madrid. The total area is and the project has been designed in such a way that it creates public spaces and squares in between blocks, as well as housing on different levels with facades of mortar on concrete emphasizing the bright colors. The houses are located far away from the toll road, placing a screen of vegetation with trees and hills to absorb the noise created by traffic. The rooms which are destined to common use will have a view towards the Sierra de Guadarrama, while the dormitories will be placed on the opposite side of the buildings. In the interior, there are less structural supports allowing greater liberty for distribution.
