The district of Casablanca was built in the 1970s according to a layout of rows of linear blocks, perpendicular to the route of the old highway, which connected the populations on the border between the Llobregat Delta and the Catalan Coastal Range.
This project was left uncompleted. The building in question corresponds to the last block in the row to the west. The plot is rectangular and has a uniform height difference of 4.5 metres. It is located between the main road and Carrer Viladecans and the town centre has gradually spread and engulfed the district meaning it is no longer situated on the outskirts and the public space has been developed and improved in quality.
The proposal includes the construction of a car park on two basement levels, a retail space on the ground floor and housing units on the upper floors. Three stairwells allow access to the seven floors of dwellings. The roofs of the car park and retail premises are for public use and have been treated to fit in with the perimeter streets.
