After the good reception of the first assignment (Torre el Rengle I), Sorigué once again opted for the experience of ON-A in the construction of a second residential building, following the same language and projection that had been promoted in the previous project for the city of Mataró. This is why the new building follows the geometric line of its predecessor: a volume where the singularity is defined by the sinuousness of its curves and the horizontality of the white GRC stripes.

To guarantee the sustainability of the project, we have chosen materials that achieve energy and acoustic efficiency, as well as the connection to an urban air-conditioning network (La Red Tub Verd Mataró). This system contributes to the promotion of renewable energies and seeks energy efficiency, improving the performance of the energy resources available in the city.

The building has a total built area of 10,312 m², 2,505m² of parking (distributed over 2 floors below ground level), 7,807 m² of residential space, and 820 m² destined for municipal facilities on the ground floor of the building. The residential part consists of 66 flats with 2 to 4 bedrooms, all of them with sea views and large terraces. The building is planned parallel to the coast, so that all the flats are oriented towards the sea, seeking maximum use of natural light and interaction with the outside space.

The urban planning definition differentiates between two “L” shaped levels: the ground floor, of great height, dedicated to the different accesses and the future municipal facilities, and two lower levels of 4 and 14 storeys for residential use. The resulting surfaces of the different volumes are used for the leisure and enjoyment of the building’s occupants: on the roof of P5 there is access to a large solarium terrace with a communal swimming pool, on P1 the apartments gain large terraces over the facilities, and in the case of the tower, the penthouses on the top floor have private access to the roof thanks to the arrangement of individual staircases.

The facade of the building, formed by curved GRC panels, together with an external thermal insulation system, generates horizontal strips that help give uniformity to the whole. These elements are lightweight and allow construction to be carried out quickly and economically, especially in high-rise buildings.

The south facade is the one directly facing the sea and has large terraces with glass railings so as not to obstruct the interior-exterior view of the owners, giving the sensation of proximity to the sea.

On the north facade, the views of the city and the Montnegre and Corredor park predominate. The rooms are located on this facade, providing the perfect lighting and climatic quality for the bedrooms. This facade is formally characterised by two large white diagonals (GRC) that cross the 14-storey volume, bringing fluidity and dynamism to the facade.

On the fifth floor, there is a swimming pool divided into two areas, one deeper for adults and the other shallower for children. This area also has solarium, shower, and garden areas in order to provide summer entertainment for the users.

The penthouse flats have a large terrace that also gives access to an upper terrace on the roof, with private access from it, where a jacuzzi and a barbecue area are located, in addition to the solarium. These terraces allow you to have a 360º view of the whole area and enjoy a direct view of the sea with a high degree of privacy.

All the properties have direct sea views through the living rooms and kitchens, some of them including all the bedrooms. The interior finishes are of high quality, with parquet floors, fitted wardrobes, fully fitted kitchens and bathrooms, and hot/cold air conditioning in all rooms.

The building has three entrances, two for the lower volume and one for the tower. All three have high-end finishes, as can be seen in the vertical wooden panels that frame the user’s route to the lifts.

The construction process starts with a first phase of excavation and foundations using retaining walls and prefabricated piles. This was followed by the creation of the reinforced concrete structure, which was then enclosed with ceramic bricks and finished with GRC and sate. At the same time as the structure was being closed, the interior partitioning was carried out and the installations were fitted. Ultimately, the finishes and furnishings were installed.
