Description

A tourist and leisure centre was constructed in El Toyo, also known as the Oasis de Alborán, in an area that is very close to the Cabo de Gata national park; it is of low density and some 80% of the land is made up of green belts.

It includes 351 bio-climatic dwellings, garages, lumber rooms and interior urban development. It is set in a rectangular plot having an area of 55,521 m2. 

The promotion consists of nineteen blocks of dwellings and common garages for every two blocks except for the last one. The dwellings are distributed into a basement, ground floor, first and second floors and roof attic.

The interior urban development includes two swimming pools, games court, paddle court, pedestrian crossings, gardening and perimeter fencing.

Because of the terrain geotechnics, some of the buildings required piling. The façade consists of brick cavity walls and interior partitions of various forms of brickwork. The inverted flat roofs have gravel or tiled finishes. Interior facing consists of plaster and cement mortar, with suspended plaster ceilings; single-layer, rough-rendered exteriors. The interior paving is top-quality stoneware, with outside terraces, stairways and roofs in rustic stoneware. The outside carpentry is light-coloured lacquered aluminium, forming sliding and tilting leaves.

Category of Architectonic Culture and Sustainable Urban Development

Responsible

The project was drawn up by the architects Margarita de Luxán, Ricardo Tendero and Pedro Nau and brought together energy, social, technical and informative criteria, together with sustainability cultural values that reflect the incipient inclusion of these criteria in the actual architecture.

The design takes into account the climate in the area and the dwellings incorporate solar and thermal panels and are fitted with modern automation system with fibre optics installations, all intended to save energy.

Highlights

This residential complex underwent the strictest quality assurance control by the International Olympic Committee and was selected as the official residence for the 2005 Mediterranean Games.

Description

The scope includes the design, construction and maintenance of a section of the A9 Badhoevedorp-Holendrecht, near the city of Amsterdam and its airport.
The project consists of the remodeling of a 10.4 km section of the A9 motorway, which includes the expansion of the platform, with the passage from three to four lanes in each direction, and the consequent expansion of the structures, in addition to the links to other roads, including bridges and underpasses. Additionally, the 1.5 km underground highway will be built in the vicinity of the city of Amstelveen, which will be covered with a slab, to create a false tunnel in three different sections, which will allow the execution of a new park about him. Another noteworthy aspect is the extension of the bascule bridge over the Schiphol canal, whose deck has to be replaced, and it will be done in compliance with very strict technical and deadline requirements, to avoid interference with navigation.

 

Responsible

The project will be executed maintaining traffic on the existing highway. This will require a significant planning effort and careful execution, including the management of numerous temporary detours.
