Barcelona Building News Architecture News - latest additions to this page, arranged chronologically: Pomaret Houses, Collserolla / Barcelona Design: Picharchitects photo : Simon Garcia Pomaret Houses - 17 May 2013 Three challenges backbone the proposal on the one hand the need for a formal dialogue with an existing house, on the other its integration with the surrounding green space and finally the possibility of incorporating passive and active systems that advance the building`s commitment to environmental sustainability. La Selva Show Villa, Catalonia Design: Studio RHE image from PGA Catalunya PGA Catalunya Villa - 14 May 2013 Overlooking the perfected landscape of the PGA golf course we described a simple arced line in the landscape. This line of local Catalan stone creates a strong visual and structural anchor throughout the site for the contemporary house design, as sculpture in the landscape. Salon Central, Sant Boi de Llobregat, south west Barcelona Design: Batlle Roig Architects photograph : Jordi Surroca Salon Central - 12 Oct 2012 The Saló Central area is located in the junction of two axis which have a significant importance in the city of Sant Boi de Llobregat: Santa Creu de Calafell road (C-245) and Josep Mariages avenue. These two axis have different characters. The C-245 road is one of the most important interurban roads in the region, having a very strong industrial character but at the same time experiencing very important transformations towards a more urban, green, residential and pedestrian character. On the other hand, Josep Mariages Avenue will soon become an important north-south pedestrian connection. Escola Bressol Jardins Malaga - Barcelona Nursery Building Design: Batlle i Roig, arquitectes photo from architects Escola Bressol Jardins Malaga - added 4 Oct 2012 The redesign of the Malaga gardens, located in the block interior bounded by Nicaragua, Berlin, Numancia and Avenida Josep Tarradelas streets, in Barcelona, promoted the allocation of a small site for the construction of an education facility: a nursery. The rectangular shaped site is attached to a dividing wall one of its long sides closing the block interior, and faces the gardens on the other. Can Bisa, Vilassar de Mar, Catalonia Design: Batlle i Roig, arquitectes photograph : A. Flajszer Catalan Housing - added 4 Oct 2012 Can Bisa is a late-19th century mansion now owned by Vilassar de Mar Council. Situated on the Riera de Cabrils watercourse, it occupies part of a street block that used to include a factory, now demolished. Its historic and heritage value and the strategic position it occupies in the town as a whole led the Council to consider it the ideal venue for a cultural facility, completing the complex with a social housing block. School CEIP Josep Guinovart, Castelldefels, Catalunya Design: Pich-Aguilera Architects photo : Simon Garcia • arqfoto School CEIP Josep Guinovart - 23 Jul 2012 The proposed implementation of the project responds clearly to the specific characteristics of the site. The developed project incorporates favourable solutions and spatial relationships to external and internal requirements for an educational activity. The proposed solution for the whole building is to divide it in two sections each one associated with a teaching activity; the kindergarten is organized in one story building and located in the south part of the site, and the primary school program is distributed in two stories in the north. Casa Renau + Casa Prat Rob Dubois Casa Renau picture from architect A high wall of almost 6m at the back of the site is the cause that the house is organized sideways towards the only free side of the plot where there are no obstructions in sight on short distance. Casa Prat picture from architect A simple geometry and a concept with references to a rocky world as a tribute to the nearby mountains considered for a generous house with an extensive program (790 m² built between basement, groundfloor & first floor), situated on a hill with unbeatable views towards this group of mountains that form the Montseny.
