This is the first homogeneous block
of housings built in Valencia.
The organization of the balconies determines a horizontal composition.
The group of buildings is finished off by a serpentine element of floral decoration that reinforces its unit and its horizontality.

The horizontality of this building is only interrupted in the bevels (chamfers), in the prevalence of vertical rhythms
in the corners, and the presence of miradors and balconies of semicircular and triangular plant.
