The project extends and completes the existing building, School Montes Obarenes, in Miranda del Ebro. The school is located in the outskirts of the city of Burgos, adopting the "L" form  inside a squared plot.
The new proposal extends the continuity of the existing form. The overall project is therefore understood as a unity created in two phases. Continuity, versatility and communication are the key words of the proposal.
Both phases are connected by a lightweight body that contains the stairs and communications.
The overall proposal closes  with a "U" form around the courtyard, and opens into the main street. The fourth side of the parcel is free of edification, opening to the city and protecting itself by a row of trees.
The project  brings spaces together according to the needs and uses of each moment. Therefore the existing spaces are reorganized and related directly to the new areas.
Each user has always very close all the spaces that he will need and use during the day.
