The firm won a tender for the construction of a city block in an urban remodelling project in the district of Porta in Barcelona. The site is across from Plaça de Sóller and was the first part of the neighbourhood to be remodelled.
The project consisted of a building containing subsidised housing, a residential care home and an adult day care centre. The buildings were planned simultaneously for three different public bodies: Regis, Gisa and the Nou Barris district.
We put forward a proposal of three separate buildings whose main structures followed the building line of the existing streets and which are interconnected by a seemingly continuous ground floor. Formal integration of the buildings is achieved through their shape, composition and the materials of the facades. Facilities access and the entrance to the day and residential centres are via a small square created by taking advantage of the change of direction of Maladeta street.
The purpose of this project is the construction of a new Residential Care Home and Day Centre for the elderly in the district of Nou Barris. The building has a basement, ground floor, four further floors and an attic.
The basement is for parking and services, the ground floor for administration and the day centre, and the four upper floors for the residential care facility. The attic houses the staff services, the laundry, installations and a terrace, which is designed as an open-air space for the home.
