The project was created after winning a private competition to reform a seven floors office building of approximately 1,100 m2 each, in the 22 @ district of Barcelona. The original building project was completed in 2002. This new reform was proposed to give the building more open and contemporary spaces.
All common spaces of the building are reformed (lobby, stairs, reception, bathrooms, solarium cover, ...) A new diaphanous lobby is proposed, avoiding conventional commercial solutions. The proposal maintains coherence both in terms of form and in the use of materials and construction systems.
Spaces are transformed into pleasant and healthy places, well lit and ventilated. A harmonious combination of elements and materials. Open and flexible spaces are generated in its use. This allows all kinds of activities and meetings, whether they are formal in a conventional space or in the lobby itself.
The exterior penetrates into the building, enhancing the feeling of tranquillity, well-being and health. The glass door makes the lobby visible from the street. This transparency enhances the permeability of these spaces.
Steel. Glass. Wood. Vegetation. These materials complement each other, achieving a perfect balance between the industrial and the natural. The steel and glass, together with the exposed installations, provide a modern and urban touch, while the warmth of the wood and the vegetation invite comfort and well-being.
The combination of these materials not only creates an interesting visual contrast, but also offers a multi-sensory experience: the brightness and transparency of the glass allows natural light to pass through, while the texture of the wood and the greenery of the plants create a cozy space.
