This path is marked by the rectangular gates leading through a central staircase with aquatic elements and waterfalls to a central gate in the central lobby building. All the buildings are developed in such a way on the sloping plot that they take advantage of all the magnificent sea views.
The facade elements follow the aesthetics and adopt the elements of the central gate. The volumes of the wards are accentuated by angular rectangular gates, which are joined together by a white ribbon that ties the whole building. The perforated elements break down the volumes, play with the Mediterranean light, the void and the full, accompany the faces and open stairways and create themes and surprises.
