Abstract
This building is situated within the «Pena Retama» estate, in the midst of an extensive garden, where it is planned to build in the immediate future a swimming pool and a pelota court. Basically, this Institute provides facilities for leading a form of life that is both peaceful and busy. With this object in view training courses in languages, painting, and amateur film making are organised. There is a book and recordings library. Furthermore, the close relationship between the doctor and the patient is not neglected, and a very discreet surveillance is maintained over the patients. The general distribution of the Institute involves three main zones: one for men, one for women and a relaxation zone. Each of them has individual apartments and small drawing and living rooms, which can be easily transformed into dining rooms. The wing of the building devoted to sleeping treatment is more isolated and independent and includes ample terraces suitable for summer and winter use. The interior decoration has been carefully planned, aiming to make it both intimate and pleasant. Colour schemes are so-called «tranquil», and avoid vivid, exciting and intense colour patterns. The outside of the building harmonises with the background of mountain scenery, and as a whole, the project is eminently functional and efficient in its detailed design.
Highlights
Fundamentalmente, se trata de un Centro con posibilidades para hacer una vida, a la vez tranquila y ocupada; con esta finalidad se organizan clases de idiomas, pintura, sesiones de cine-club, y se dispone de una biblioteca-discoteca; pero sin descuidar la necesaria relación y contacto muy personal de enfermo y médico, y una vigilancia discretísima sobre aquél.
En su distribución general se acusan tres zonas: hombres, mujeres y zona de reposo, que disponen de sus correspondientes habitaciones, individuales, y una serie de saloncitos y cuartos de estar fácilmente transformables en comedores.
El ala para las curas de sueño está más aislada e independiente y tiene amplias terrazas de verano e invierno.
