The project includes several collective housing units and multifunctional service spaces. The location could not be more generic - on the side of a national road in Vale de Cambra, Portugal, where the urban mesh is absolutely scattered and with no clear alignments. The demands of the client were clear and defined from the outset: the construction would have to be fast, economical, and modifiable over time, depending on the different needs that might arise. The content of this order led the studio to use prefabricated elements and leave portions of the project undefined.

In the words of Alejandro Aravena, "SUMMARY's set of prefabricated elements can balance the logics of prefabricated infrastructure and architecture as a support." This project is another practical example of this architectural approach, assuming the speed of construction, flexibility, and optimization of resources as central themes.The defined design strategy is quite simple: 2 different programs are placed on 2 different floors. The ground floor is occupied with multifunctional service spaces...
