The private, a volume of polished gray concrete, dark, hard and heavy that opens completely to the park located towards the north, with subtle brackets that allow you to have visuals towards the park above the perimeter fence, which help Being in the park it is almost impossible to see what is happening inside this one.

The volume of polished concrete rests on three structural elements, the perimeter wall, the volume of services and a steel IPR beam, giving the sensation as if it had been brought to the place as a cargo container and giving it that aspect of an element heavy and introverted, as if looking for the intrigue of what happens inside him.
