As part of three interrelated landscaping projects, the sanitation network system of North Alt
Maresme was designed for the treatment of Santa Susanna, Calella, Pineda de Mar, Malgrat
and Palafolls wastewater. Located in Montpalau's former quarry, this project was completed
alongside the construction and remodelling of the existing pre-treatment facilities and a
pumping station, which propels water from the new pre-treatment facilities at the riverbed's
low point up to the future wastewater treatment plant.

For more than a century, architects have puzzled over a simple dilemma: how can they
maintain the efficiency of the established high-rise formula of building design while escaping
the monotony of what essentially amounts to a series of identically stacked plates on
display? By cleverly playing with the form and evoking empathy, the Absolute Towers' profiles
seem to change continuously when seen from afar. From a closer vantage point, the
geometric puzzle remains intact, but a feature at another scale begins to dominate. Designed
to maximise viewing potential inside and out, balconies wrap around every floor to give each
resident a unique experience of the city and neighbourhood, creating a wonderful impetus for
social interaction.

Akasya Lake Parcel has been created through the revitalization of the waterway as a biological
pond located at the center of the land plot. Making this newly created natural texture a part of
the daily life in this parcel, both as a view and a means of recreation, is an element that shaped
the design. The fact that the buildings are located in a manner that protects them from the
blustering north-east wind has allowed the use of sliding windows even at the towers. The
spatial values that were lost at Istanbul during urban transformations were attempted to be
revived with the presence of the 10000 square meter area to be utilized as “Woods” for the
Akasya project. At Woods Parcel a 40 storey iconic building is designed to create space for the
woods. Social facilities, including recreational areas and playgrounds can be accessed by foot
without having to encounter any vehicle traffic.
