Built in 1906, La Bòbila de la Teixonera is the last brick factory to be conserved in Barcelona. The renovation work will transform this unused space into an important facility for exhibitions and cultural promotion, along with activities by associations and others. The revamp also aims to preserve the historical memory of this space, regaining its heritage elements.

Comprehensive renovation that respects heritage value

The rectangular building has an approximate surface area of 780 square metres and two floors:

• On the ground floor, ten rooms will be created, each with some 25 square metres of space, for shared use by various organisations, connected with a central corridor.
• The first floor is currently an open-plan space and will include a large room of 370 square metres, with a large window and a porch, equipped with changing rooms, storage areas etc. This floor will also have two rehearsal rooms and a square multi-purpose room.

The project affects an overall space of 1,623 square metres of built surface and should make the most of the thermal inertia of the existing construction, with high energy efficiency and passive bioclimate systems.

Besides the renovation of La Bòbila de la Teixonera, a second project will be carried out to condition the outdoor space and the approaches to the building, with a surface o 280 square metres to be turned into a people-friendly area with urban furniture and greenery.
