designs as parks, gardens, lighting, seating area, parking area and a driveway
with finishes of rustic concrete, making this a country space, cozy and
comfortable for users.

The administrative building:
It is located near the main entrance of the complex. To design this area an existing building on the site
was used, maximizing its structure and vertical walls, improving their facades,
floor textures, stairs cores and increasing a greater level required to achieve
the number required of offices. This building has a floor area of 238.50m2 and the basement
floor that has an area of 121.97m2.

The administrative core, although is built with
independent access and is indirectly connected to the rest of the buildings, it is directly
connected to the parking area and access of the complex.
Services : Public bath cores and security cores
There are three public bath cores in total for the
complex, one to supply the kiosks recreation area, another area to supply the
huts and Boccia fields and a final core to supply the pool area.

For surveillance and security
throughout the complex it is proposed that three key points for monitoring
positions be used.All these services are part of the
resort to offer an optimum service and security to their users.
The main and general parking of the complex is located
immediately at the main entrance, which has a capacity for 144 parking stalls
with a double circuit street 5m wide. This parking area has a slope of about 10%.
In general, this architectural design for
"Manantial Casa Club”", proposes a series of buildings and spaces for
recreation, active and passive recreation, for children, teens and adults of
all ages.
These cores of buildings make an integral unit, so it
will be one of the most complete resorts and important of the area, which may
appeal to both users Tachira state, and around the country.
