2006 “new building Service center  to La Seu d’Urgell ”, La Seu d’Urgell |Spain |

2º Prize

The  proposed design for the  new Service Centre in the mountainous region of Alt Urgell (Catalunya, Spain) is based on the pre-existing  ancient building, its patio entrance  and courtyard that serve as a dialogue between the two buildings, old and new. The main entrance is in the old building, between the outdoor patio and the skylight, generating a pleasing  spatial continuity that helps linking the two structures. The facade is made of a mobile system of wooden beams  that filter the light through.
