The property designed by Rosa Ros adapts to the narrow solar degraded of the historical center reinterpreting the typical facades with a double insulating skin
A multipurpose building adapted to the urban voids of the historic center is one of the last final projects presented at the School of Architecture and Building of the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena (UPCT), conducted by Rosa Ros Bas and directed by Juan Pedro Sanz Alarcón.
Its 'Strategy for colonization of degraded urban spaces' is designed to respond "progressively to the demand for housing that generates the historic center," explains the new architect titled by the Polytechnic of Cartagena.

The design, based on a system of movable band with linear configuration of the uses and a great central corridor, to guarantee the ventilation and illumination of all the spaces, is thought to adapt to the different voids of the historical, narrow and elongated, with Majority orientation Southeast-Northwest.
The structure of the building designed reinterprets the configuration of the characteristic facades of Cartagena, with balcony and viewpoint, reproducing through layers the generation of different spaces and uses.
