CA L'ARÚS

 CA L’ARÚS

The purpose of this Project in a ground floor on Barcelona´s Sants quarter is to retrieve its original living use. In the past, this space was used as a pet shop. We have defined an activity area; a  single space that will work as a multi functional unit, containing the living area, the dining room and the open kitchen. This space has direct connection to the exterior through the main façade.

The more private night area is placed on the opposite side of the house. These two zones are connected between them  through an alley that also connects with the bathroom. When we remove the existing finishing materials on walls, we discover the original ones, that tell us the history of the building. We work on them, restoring and enhancing them and their textures. On the façade, a complete transformation is proposed, by installing a ceramic element wall that  filters both light and  indiscrete glances.
