Description:

Before being obtained by the proprietors, the building held a “milk shop” in the heart of a standout amongst the most beguiling and thick neighborhood in Barcelona: Gracia. Initially in this shop, milk and other derivate, for example, yogurt and cream where sold… and there were bovines in it also. So the beginning stage was a building with no utilization, completely relinquished with its exteriors and rooftop in terrible condition and substantial remodel activities were recquired.

The proposition was done as a team with draftsman Marc Mazeres. The fundamental thought was to “exhaust” the first inward space and safeguard just the veneers and unique rooftop. Our primary thought was to construct another staying yet saving the first inside volume and its soul.

The outcome is an one of a kind mix of spaces that impart in diverse statures and permit visual and physical associations between them. In this task spaces are interconnected so new visuals are made between distinctive stages and levels. The thought was to see the building as an assorted spaces compartment. The thought turns out to be more apparent in the primary lounge, associated with the inside passages furthermore to the outside through enormous windows.

A metal staircase and a little lift join the base arrangement with different levels. All the level correspondence is done through glass and sliding ways to permit a noteworthy visual association between spaces.

Amid the valuable procedure we built up a “void refilling” framework. This implies the building was “exhausted” of all old inward structures and just exteriors, rooftop and a focal wood column were cleared out. This column was and still is the main focal bolster purpose of all the structure.

All the flat structure was constructed with an answer of metal shafts and metal and solid composite section. In the meantime exteriors and rooftop were remodeled.

Inside parcels were constructed from block center and outside glued pre-assembled piece. On location works term were chopped down radically with the utilization of these pieces. The outcomes are exceptional as far as toughness, completions and acoustic segregation.

Windows, openings and blinds are explained with aluminum frameworks with high productivity standard. The atmosphere framework comprises of crossed ventilation in summer and a story warming framework warmed with sun based boards in winter. The completions of this building depend on straightforwardness and durability.
