A FORMER FACTORY IN THE HEART OF BARCELONA
The focus of this design project is La Farinera, a 19th century former factory covering an area of over 1,400 square metres, made up of a five-storey tower and big industrial warehouse.
The interiors of this architectural gem, hidden away in the heart of Barcelona, were renovated by The Room-Studio in order to create a new concept of a women’s social club, aimed at fostering their personal and professional development.
Juno House is a multipurpose space, with a refreshing Mediterranean design based on a use of natural materials, bespoke items specially designed for the club, and varying interconnected areas. Tiles by Wow Design feature prominently in some of these spaces.
This concept of a club, designed to meet very specific needs, could not be found in Spain up until now. Its facilities include a restaurant, shop, meeting rooms, stage, recording studios, crèche, offices, library, exhibition room, chill-out zone, sports areas, wellness and beauty centre, and numerous leisure areas.
A Big Ceramic Rug In The Signature Restaurant
The spacious restaurant, specializing in signature cuisine, is one of the main focal points of the complex, with floor tiles from the Bejmat collection by WOW Design in the form of a big ceramic rug. The mix of red glazed tiles and terracotta-coloured ones affords just the right contrast and touch of warmth. With their different format, texture and shine, the tiles give the restaurant an upbeat appearance, infusing it with all the appeal of natural materials.
The area behind the restaurant bar is clad in rectangular relief tiles, laid vertically to lend the surface a certain sense of movement. The tiles are from the Stripes collection, also by WOW Design.
