In a beautiful park along the river are the Zadorra Gamarra pools (Year 1964) were once together are the largest sheet of water in Spain. The need to adapt to new regulations required the construction of a new building for debugging. The plan dimensions by the size and number of filters. We chose to integrate the building into the landscape. You can travel and even cross a road that divides the program into the filter area and the zone valves and electrical panels.

The building is built with sustainable materials and incorporating into formal profile skylights with solar panels. The composition of the development seeks to respect the large trees and dialogue with nature. The new cleaning room has a very unique design. The photovoltaic panels are incorporated into the skylights of the building, are formally included in the formal section of the building.

Among the actions to be carried out, it is necessary to enable deposits of compensation to improve the functioning of all the pools. The balance of these deposits is stored in a cistern for irrigation. It shows how abstract a box through the trees, made of wooden sleepers. Allowed optical transparencies and games to give it a lighter consistency, prismatic part that floats and fades into the forest.

This is achieved through the passage of access, which splits the box into two parts and metal parts placed behind the lattice of beams, which reflect the green environment. Functionally accessible by a secondary road, the back, through a ramp, because the building will be partially buried. Bioclimatic building facilities run with reinforced concrete walls for compression tanks.

The building is made with a concrete block factory type “Faconor” with paneling. These materials are viewed very sincere. The cover is a one-way reinforced concrete slab. Ventilation and lighting are natural, thus saving energy. The building of facilities with modern attractive design incorporating translucent roof lights with photovoltaic elements, receives the user to transmit a message in a facility that is modern and friendly environment.

The skylights feature a small PV system. The design of the future is based on the integration of the assets bioclimatic architecture and use of sustainable materials such as concrete block and wood.
