Dwellings in Plaça de la Gardunya
Barcelona, Spain
The housing block is the result of an accurate site study.
It is surrounded by singular elements of the city as La Rambla, the Boqueria´s Market arcades, the passage exit of Carme´s street…
The volume was designed by searching the perspectives to all these iconic elements and being sensitive to the different feelings the area evokes but always with the intention of being part of the historical housing building’s language.
