Located on the border between the urban area and the ‘Serral de ses Monges’ park, overlooked by the Monastery of Sant Pere and the old windmills, the building is located on a trapezoid-shaped plot between party walls.

The new project develops in balance with the existing buildings, so that the whole can be read as a single entity on the scale of the territory. In this way, the new complex tends to engage in a dialogue with the Sarine river facing it and with the other significant built presences surrounding it, such as the Hauterive Abbey and large agricultural structures.
