The intervention involved the rehabilitation of a small industrial building and its expansion with the construction of a new volume, all designed for residential use.
The former Planell factory was built in the early nineteenth century, and is situated on the corner of Turull and Riego. It was our intention to maintain and preserve the existing building and, as well, to transfer its character to the construction of the new volume that completes the building. Faced with dual tasks -restore the industrial building and construct new residential construction- it was decided to improve all of it, combining the new with the old in a strong and confident way.
The common access to the group is through a covered open space and adjacent to the existing industrial building. It forms a courtyard or atrium access that provides the backbone of the common space. The vertical and horizontal communications are concentrated in this space. Once in the interior of the block, a new patio garden for the use of the residents appears. This sequence of spaces contributes to the sense of discovery or surprise that the building reserves for the visitor.
All the homes of the project are developed on two floors, with double orientation, since the facades open to both the exterior and interior free spaces. In general, the housing contains one room of double height overlooked by the remaining rooms. The kitchens are integrated into the living room.
Materials similar to those used in the construction of the existing building have been used -ceramics, lime plaster, woodwork- thus ensuring a consistent and unified image.
