2215 major 55

The project is located in the old town of Arboç, in a BCIL building with modernist façade and cataloged hydraulic pavements that are part of its heritage value. It had been in disuse for many years and had serious structural problems due to the presence of termites.

The objective was to recover the original residential use, maintaining as much as possible the configuration of the house and respecting the protected elements. The strategy has been surgical: the rooms have been preserved, and the intervention is concentrated on the interior façade, where a single space has been opened to locate the living room-dining room-kitchen.

The main challenge of the project has been the replacement of 80% of the support, heavily affected by termites, while ensuring the structural safety and integrity of the listed building. The hydraulic pavements have been preserved and are shown where they have more prominence, highlighting the modernist essence of the building.

With minimal but precise interventions, the space has been transformed to become habitable again. The result is a welcoming habitat in a listed building that recovers its original use.
