Restoration / 2021 - 2022 / Milano

Located in the heart of the Gothic Quarter in the city center of Barcelona a building of five floors is restorated. The whole interiors are redistributed reinforcing the structure where needed and looking for new opportunities in the actual building. The final design includes new plans for every floor, a new and designed elevator and the staircase around it, the restoration of the entrance (which included preservation of ancient ruins that were found during the project in a hidden basement), and a new rooftop that includes a little swimming pool. The project’s aim is to make the best possible use spaces obtaining finally eight houses with three rooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, living and dining room and one or two balconies in each one. The materials are selected to create a peaceful as well as cozy space for living.
