The project arises from the need to expand the School Los Pilares, located in ​​Montevideo, prominently located along the José Batlle and Ordoñez Park.

The expansion of the school Los Pilares involved the construction of a new building, placed on the center of an existing site, connecting the two existing school buildings. The new building presents two volumes, one developed in two levels with primary school classrooms, and the other one developed on a single level, raised over the outdoor playground, where the new middle school classrooms are located. The new intervention joins the main existing building, with patrimonial character, through a new space called "Heart", which acts as an articulator of the whole.
