The distribution is designed around a big use and kitchen space and then the bedrooms. The rooms are mainly located at the south side and the kitchens, bathrooms and accesses to the north.
The project suggests the creation of natural solar filters by the planting of deciduous trees that give more shadow during the summer and more sunlight in the winter. It admits, moreover, wide green spaces were autochthon species could be grown.
It suggests as well the installation of photothermic boards installed in the facades and photovoltaic boards placed on the covers, for the common areas illumination.

All the buildings have an acting area: access building, hotel, policlinic, logistic center, and the dock are different and adapted for the different uses they were created for, but at the same time, this will allow the necessary adaptations for the specific particularities that each of them carry out among the group.
