CA LA HELEN

CA LA HELEN – This refurbishment Project starts off on a peculiar dimensions house, the spaces and dimensions of which are narrow and divided. It is located in the Sagrada Familia neighborhood, Barcelona. The new layout converts this distribution into an open, multi function space, that will have a good amount of natural light, that emphasizes the original constructive elements textures, that have been restored. The existing ceiling, formed by catalan vaults and metallic beams has been left uncovered. The vertical structure has also been freed of the different layers that have been covering it through the years leaving a brick structural wall that is underlined by a stripe of indirect light, enhancing its texture and generating shadows in its surface.  The resulting house gives priority to the main space, transforming it into a much more contemporary practical and functional space.
