The scheme of the proposal adheres to a diagonal axis that connects it with the park that appears behind, and continues as a street in Villafranca de los Barros. Flanking this great axis are the communications centres, the service areas and the common use areas that flow into a large patio. In particular, two bands of rooms are arranged that open to the surrounding landscape, connecting the rooms through a gallery that functions as interior-exterior. At the southwest end there is an open but covered space that supposes two separate accesses for road traffic and pedestrians. The common areas are accessed by descending to a part of the Inn that will remain buried, pouring its entire façade into a large patio. Communication with the rooms is through vertical cores that will also communicate with the car park below.
