Laurel Housing, Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Laurel Housing, designed by AMP Arquitectos in 2001, is a residential building located at Calle General Serrano 14, 38004 Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain. The project comprises apartments and commercial spaces, integrating seamlessly into the dense urban fabric near Rambla de Pulido and Plaza Weyler. The design features a façade constructed with volcanic stone, providing passive solar protection and creating vertical openings for natural ventilation and daylight. The building's form serves as a connector between adjacent structures, with commercial areas on the ground floor and residential units above, culminating in a set-back top floor.
