Each group of eight children form a small family and to each one is assigned an independent place, a home. All are equal and at the same time are different according to their position relative to the sun, the view and the relationship with their neighbours. Together they form a community that gathers around the central space has continuity in a grove of trees where the units are sheltered, a courtyard house in the woods. The grove grows and merges with the urban space forming a publicly accessible garden overlooking the Desierto de las Palmas, the fundamental landscape of the common identity of Benicàssim. Can Feliç – a courtyard house in the forest in the countryside of Benicàssim.
