CONCEPTO
San Roque Collective Accommodation is an Alicante City Council initiative, managed by Alicante Housing Department.
It is located in a XIX Century building, in the upper side of the Alicante Old Quarter alongside San Roque Chapel, good dates back to the XVI Century. It is situated in the heart of the Old City.
San Roque Collective Accommodation not only answers to the needs of a collective accommodation, it is also a cohabitation and living space by itself.
Residents share all common areas where they have their daily vital needs covered and others connected with their personal or collective development. To stay in San Roque, collectives must develop an educational, cultural, competitive or social program in the city of Alicante, this program can have duration of months, weeks or days.
The buildingós sober character contrasts with its interior decoration, giving priority to a functional spaces and modern equipment. Keeping in mind the different nationalities or disciplines of the collectives that will stay here, we attempted to join two different creative fields: illustration and poetry.
The dócor of words and images are used to pay homage to the buildingós name and history.
