The design team was leaded by architects Enrique Bares, Federico Bares, Nicolás Bares and Florencia Schnack, associate architects were Paula Ahets Etcheverry, Alejandro Casas and Fernando Belazaras. The design team was completed by architects Francisco Cartasegna & Augusto Guede, and by Ivo Poli & Santiago Bares. Architect Carlos Ucar was a counselor in Technology.

This competition is the first of a total of four, aiming to build a total of 1,000 social housing units in a land along the “Villa 20” an inner-city slum. The project intends to provide proper housing to the families living today in that irregular settlement.  

The jury says about this particular proposal that it has been awarded the first prize on the basis of “several important aspects that together delivers a balanced outcome, between a decent housing and an accurate scale for the ensemble".
