The apartment complex is constructed based on the geometric figure of the
greek cross with approximately 5 meter arms. It has exactly 13 of these crosses imbedded into its design. The other two plants are only three floors and follow a similar pattern to first and third floors of the other three plants, in that they are composed of L-shaped apartments. Its staggered and compartmental structure suggests a
brutalist architectural style. It is a common interpretation that the red and pink tones of La Muralla Roja are used to present a contrast against or an emphasis on the landscape with the earthy colors of red and pink. Similarly the blue tones are used against the hues of the sky and/or water. This consideration of environment is a common attribute of Ricardo Bofill’s work and is especially present in his other architectural designs such as the Social Club of Manzanera and
Xanadu building.
Material Each section of the apartment complex is constructed through a modular frame using cement as primary construction material. == Tourist Attraction ==
