About Escudellers Kay Rezidansyèl

Nan sant la istorik nan Barcelona, se yon kay yo te renove nan yon bilding ki te bati nan 1840. Li nan mete nan anblèm Escudellers Street la, ki te yon sant pou gè nan Potter nan Mwayen an laj. Nan reyabilitasyon an, nou te pran an kont teknik konstriktif tradisyonèl yo. Priyorite a te bay prezèvasyon ak restorasyon eleman bilding orijinal yo ki, ansanm ak istorik patin yo, bay yon valè ajoute klè.

Unique Properties
Access from the street is decadent. The itinerary to the house builds an experience that will continue to its interior. The high ceilings and patios allow natural lighting inside the apartment. Intense experiences are generated and moving away from the crazy rhythm of the city.

Production Technology
The moldings found in the apartment were much damage. We decided to rebuild them with a contemporary interpretation. Its design was unusual, extended, and exceeded the limits. Looking at it seems like it is sculpted on the walls and ceilings. The pavements were raised in the areas where the floor was lower. We made a compression layer that connected to the wooden beams and replaced the mosaics.
Design Challenge
The treatment on the moldings was artisanal and meticulous to get the best quality. They were designed in such a way that their boundaries are blurred, extending their shape beyond the usual.
Research
The original iron fittings were recovered, as well as the hydraulic pavements. They had to be lifted from time to time to repair the slab and move it to its original position.
Inspiration
In the historic center of Barcelona, a flat is reformed, in a building of 1840 on the emblematic Escudellers street, which in the Middle Ages had been the center of the potters' guild. In rehabilitation, we take into account traditional construction techniques.
Project Duration
The project is located in Barcelona, 2018.
Operation Flow
In the program, the existing distribution was modified, according to current requirements. In this way, all rooms receive natural light. Two partitions were removed to bring together the kitchen, dining room, and living room in an open space.
