The building undergoing renovation, located in the center of Reus, enjoys a privileged setting that was key to the development of the design proposal. The façade has been reinterpreted, taking as a reference the characteristic color of the church in Plaça de la Sang, integrating it with more modern nuances through the exterior woodwork and other elements. This intervention seeks to harmonize the building with the tones and characteristics of the surrounding urban environment.

The color extends to the interior through cladding and decorative details, creating a contrast with the neutral base materiality, where the continuous concrete flooring predominates, and the restoration of ceramic and wood elements in the structures highlights the authenticity of the site.

Regarding the layout, the building’s original floor plan was excessively compartmentalized, resulting in dark and poorly ventilated spaces. The new layout has redistributed the kitchen and living/dining areas toward the main façade, forming a single open-plan space that acts as a centerpiece. This change not only improves natural lighting and ventilation, but also optimizes the flow between different spaces, enhancing the property’s functionality and comfort.
