URBAN PROPOSAL FOR THE CITY- PORT INTERFACE

The Barcelona City-Port interface is under continue transformation. The limit between the urban port and the industrial logistic area is under movement and is being continually displaced south, opposite to urban positions, in search for areas where to minimize conflict between urban and port activities. At the same time, physically constrained the city of Barcelona is in search for space to provide houses to new comers.

This proposal link port and urban interest through the creation of a continue slab that facilities logistic activities under while permits urban activities above, provide space to enlarge today’s straitjacketed transport infrastructures and solve the link between the city and the bigger park in town, Montjuïc.

VILLA LUISA

Luisa is a cook and the matriarch of a very united the family.

Her semidetached house of four floor was a narrow & dark place. The stairs where claustrophobic and the space was uncomfortable.

We removed all the existing elements to leave the place rough-and-read. The boxed stair disappeared to be replaced by a light transparent hanging stair.

The kitchen needed to be the center, but at the same time needed to be tidy and clean since it was going to become the entrance and storage of the house. A mobile magic worktop in the kitchen was the solution!

The rest of the project is ll about color, light and wood.
