The influence of the Dutch group on the work of Viedma Vidal is apparent in this building which would represent another level in housing intended for the working classes, with early commodities such as lifts, Venetian blinds and fully equipped bathrooms … Let us not forget that these were the nineteen-thirties.
The architect built this macro-building with 14 patios, 378 residential properties (of different types) and 8 towers to store water, today merely decorative, all of this in a closed block with internal patios that guaranteed a communal space for socializing.
The idea of hygiene, modernity and comfort in the properties, with their necessary cross ventilation, was very present in the building, which used local materials such as red brick, terracotta panels and glazed ceramic for its façades, and progressed towards modernity with a rationalism that, in the difficult post-war period, enabled chickens to be kept in the interior garden that is today a haven of peace in the centre of Valencia.
