尽管Pedro Montt街区已经成为一个主要的旅游社区，但它必须像这座城市一样，变得更加密集并回应各种用途和功能。初始的住房需求和与当地环境绝佳的联结定义了这座建筑的居住功能。

The Pedro Montt neighborhood, although it has become a mainly touristic quarter, it must, as well as the city, density and reflect different applications and programs. The incipient housing need and the excellent connection of the land, defines the housing vocation of the building.

这座建筑的外观如同一个钢结构的大型仓库，识别并唤起了港口记忆，这也是卡斯特罗在本世纪初最被人熟知的特色。当年卡斯特罗是一个自由港口，现在的项目基址在当时是一个临时火车站, 连接安库德和卡斯特罗的火车在此停靠。建筑的高度并没有参照城市监管计划允许的的 25 米，而是根据建筑物后面一个15米高的山坡而设计。

From the beginning, the building presents itself as a large warehouse with a steel structure, recognizing and evoking the character of port which characterized Castro at the beginning of the century, when it was a free port and where the current site was an improvised train stop, train which connected Ancúd with Castro. The building define its height considering the 15 meters height hill which is at the back of the building and not the 25 meters that allowed the city´s regulatory plan.

该建筑充分利用了独特的景观，向上抬高了一层，俯瞰着 palafitos（高跷房屋）的屋顶，并在第一层设有进出口和停车位。公寓被设于一楼以上的开放式楼层，框住了卡斯特罗运河的景观。公寓内部的公共空间和私人空间被由厨房和卫生间组成的“湿区”分隔。

The building takes advantage of the privileged views, raising one floor and looking over the roofs of the palafitos (stilt houses), housing in the first level the access and the parking slots. The apartments are developed in the upper floors as open plan and framing the views towards the channel of Castro.The public and private spaces are divided by a wet core: kitchen-bathroom
