VITAL SERPIS MASTERPLAN

The project is located in Gandía, Valencia, along the banks of the Serpis River. The residential complex is part of the master plan for the Serpis_Gandía urban development. It takes advantage of the views towards the river and the future expansion of the city in what is currently a rural area.

​

The design concept is based on a cubic grid layout, using a homogeneous system of equal spaces. This ensures that the hierarchy of relationships between interior spaces remains uniform, allowing for flexible, multifunctional use of the space.

Initially, the aim was to open up views of the river to the street, creating a direct and dynamic visual connection between the two. The integration of the project with its surroundings is achieved through the staggered arrangement of the buildings—an approach established in the master plan. This strategy generates interesting semi-private spaces between the blocks, serving as a transitional zone between public and private areas.

​

Within the residential blocks, a large central courtyard has been incorporated, extending the park into the building. Open spaces within the structure further reinforce this connection, transforming them into terraces and communal areas for residents.

​

The layout of the residences follows the cubic grid concept, using a modular system of equal spaces. This ensures a uniform hierarchy of interior relationships while allowing for flexible spatial arrangements. The design is structured around a system of 3x3x3-meter modules, enabling the addition of spatial units as needed.

The horizontal circulation system is conceived as a kind of anthill, with perforated openings in the slabs that enhance visual connections. All pathways culminate in façade openings, creating shared terraces.
