LOCATION

Horta-Guinardó, Barcelona

YEAR

2008

CLIENT

Barcelona City Council

AREA

1.144 m²

STATUS

Built

COLLABORATOR

Jordi Granada (structures), Taller d'enginyeria ambiental (MEP engineering), Carles Climent (photography)

CONTRACTOR

AND S.A. DE SERVEIS

BUDGET

1.042.402 €

The project’s priority is to create a pleasant building for senior citizens, a space where they feel comfortable and one they can identify with. The construction materials and finishes used are therefore familiar, warm and comfortable such as ceramic and wood, to create a homely, relaxed atmosphere.
The building’s floor plan keeps closely to the space available in one of the borders of the Príncep de Girona gardens.
The building is designed to respond to the park: a volume that partakes in its language, materials and function. It is conceived as a pavilion in the park, a vantage point from which users can survey everything going on around them, both in the park and in the street. The ground floor is permeable, with a hallway that runs right through the building. The building itself represents a new entrance from the street, leading into the park. One of the park’s esplanades, currently paved in wood, will have a new entrance via the building.
The larger façades, with great picture windows and timber framework, pick up the motif of the park’s wooden paving and street furniture.
