This unique building, situated at the crossing Diagonal-Carretera of Sarría of Barcelona, consists of four basements, two levels for premises and offices that occupy the entire site and of twenty two of apartments that assume the shape of a cross so as to obtain the maximum independence of view between the different wings, in addition to other aesthetic and volumetric considerations. The structure is of reinforced concrete with flat floors without beams and the curtain walls of prefabricated pieces and artificial stone. An attempt has been made, and we consider the aim to have been achieved to construct a well planned and well balanced tall building, viewed from close by as well as from a distance.
