Red Tower
Detached single-family house (currently divided into two houses), surrounded by a garden, with a tower at the back which has a square base and an octagonal upper body. It has a complex structure, with a Greek cross plan, made up of several bodies that have roofs on two sides. The material used in is exposed brick, which gave the house its name. The Red Tower was built in 1899 following the criteria of the eclectic architecture typical of that period, although it incorporated some medieval elements. The urbanisation of the Sant Ramon Street area (the old road from Cerdanyola to Sant Cugat), which became known as the "Dalt neighbourhood", had begun around 1828 with the construction of houses in some land owned by the Serraparera farm. Subsequently, new construction processes were carried out there, especially during the 1860s and 1880s. (Dating provided by source)1879

Clergy House - Rectory
It is a building intended for parish housing services. It presents some ornamental and constructive elements typical of the last stage of modernism where simple geometric shapes such as pointed arches formed with blown bricks are mixed with other curved geometric elements. A tower-shaped element stands out in one of the corners in one of the vertices in which the entrance door is located, covered by moulded buttresses and a gallery formed by a roof supported by stretchers. The floor plan of the building is rectangular with a hipped roof.1908

Jaume Mimó i Llobet 14-16 Dwellings
Studio PER, Lluís Clotet i Ballús, Oscar Tusquets Blanca
The project collects the experience of the apartments previously designed in Carrer Mozart in Sant Cugat. Each apartment is structured around a central space that allows it to be used virtually as a single space or as a set of independent rooms. In this case, the complex is organised in two blocks that leave a central semi-public space, so that the block facing the street follows the curve of the alignment, in order to restore a certain urban dimension. In addition, the possibility of building at a higher height allows for studios on the top floor. The apartments are accessed from the ground floor, and the studios are accessed from a metal gallery. This allows you to experience the central space from all levels. On the outside of both blocks there are private gardens linked to the apartments. The studios have their own spacious terrace, which allows it to be used as a garden.1976 - 1979

UAB Central sports Services Building
Ferran Cardeñas i Parés, Josep Lluís Mateo i Martínez
The building is the result of the proposal to build it as a bridge that crosses a stream, determining the configuration of the campus, so as to link the two slopes where the sports courts are located. The programme is made up of a heterogeneous set of activities linked to sport and leisure: changing rooms, bar, gym, offices, meeting room, etc. On the other hand, the dimensions of the building are much smaller than those of the other buildings that make up the historic campus. This explains its placement and shape, which are intended to emphasise the lightness of the working scale. The building is linked to the topography and the landscape while adopting the form of an infrastructural tube that recalls certain images of industrial installations dignified superimposed on the landscape.1987 - 1993

Faculty of Translation and Interpretation of the UAB
Jordi Bosch Genover, Joan Tarrús Galter, Santiago Vives i Sanfeliu
The building echoes the few references offered by a very poorly configured place on the Humanities campus: a square on the north side, a steep slope on the south side, and the railway crossing, which gives access to the whole campus. The programme is clearly separated into two bodies that are configured according to these references: the body of the offices ends in the direction of the ravine and the train track, while the body of the classrooms adopts a staggered section that also gives it an oriented character. Thus, the whole seems to be lifted from the square and suspended over the ravine. The north façade unifies both bodies by means of an unfolded mesh lattice that responds to the consolidated character of the square. Between the two bodies, a landscaped courtyard welcomes access and organises the circulations that unify the whole complex. The programme is developed independently of morphological considerations.1995 - 1998

M&M Houses
Roldán+Berengué Arquitectes, Mercè Berengué Iglesias, José Miguel Roldán i Andrade
The project is suggested by the peculiar nature of the assignment: two houses with different programs that share the same plot, forest-like and on a slope. Both houses follow the same general guidelines, regardless of the particularity of each program. The zero level is emphasised, which clearly determines the uses below and those above. Below there are the car parks, the workshops and the water tanks, with access from the ends of the lot. Above, each program is developed independently on two levels. The strip of central forest is the common element, shared by both houses through two facing porches. House M1 is for a couple with their young child. House M2 is for a teacher who spends long seasons outside of Barcelona and rents part of the house to other teachers. The materials and arrangement of the windows deliberately evoke the archetypal iconography of the domestic world.1999 - 2001

Plaça del Riu Sec and La Farigola Walkway
Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona (AMB), Montserrat Periel i Piquer, Manuel Reventós i Rovira
Between the Riu Sec and the railway tracks, on a previously confined asbestos-contaminated subsoil and an environment characterised by different topographic levels, there is the area where the new sports and school area will be developed in the Farigola district. Plaça del Riu Sec and the Farigola footbridge provide for the improvement of connectivity between areas and will be used as an access hall to future facilities. The square is made up of three paved strips that fold to access the lift, structuring the space. They are separated by interstitial areas, with slopes of green areas, living areas and children's games, which resolve the difference in levels to bring us closer to the residential district. The footbridge, a structure with two drawer beams, specifically solves the meeting with the extremes: in the square, a platform is both a viewpoint and access to the elevator and the staircase, and in the neighbourhood, it crosses over F. Puig Street and the tracks to look for the level of the Barcelona road.2010 - 2013

House 1105
H ARQUITECTES, David Lorente Ibáñez, Josep Ricart Ulldemolins, Xavier Ros Majó, Roger Tudó Galí
...A small plot facing south - the result of the segregation of the garden at Judith's parents' house... This brief description of the site contains the main conditions that explain the project's strategy: the size explains the number of floors (3) as well as the minimum possible occupation (40 m2). The parents are the reason to concentrate the free space by turning the resulting garden into the entrance and hall of the house. The orientation explains how the south façade is the main source of lighting and views, which it does without any kind of limit, taking advantage of a set of large recycled windows. The openings are complemented by a staggered polycarbonate gallery that acts as a collector and protector. Only the north façade contains other windows to allow good cross ventilation. The staircase, with a single section, transversal and reversible, is the vertical circulation and distributor of the 6 resulting spaces. Out of these, only the bathroom and laundry room are specific to one function, while the rest take on the programme in the most ambiguous domestic way possible that ended up determining the customers. The spaces are intentionally characterised in terms of geometry, matter, and comfort but little determined in terms of function.2012 - 2014

ICTA-ICP Research Centre of the UAB
DataAE, H ARQUITECTES, Claudi Aguiló Aran, Albert Domingo Ollé, David Lorente Ibáñez, Josep Ricart Ulldemolins, Xavier Ros Majó, Roger Tudó Galí
The ICTA-ICP building located on the UAB (Autonomous University of Barcelona) campus is a research centre in environmental sciences and paleontology. Consistent with their fields of research, the building's users bet on an ambitious response to sustainability challenges. The building, an isolated volume of five floors of 40x40m and two basements, accommodates the following uses. On the ground floor: lobby, bar, classrooms and administration; on the following 3 floors, offices and laboratories; on the deck, greenhouses and rest areas; in the semi-basement, parking and machine rooms; and in the basement, warehouses and the rest of the laboratories. Both offices and laboratories are uses with a lot of internal load that tend to be hot. The ICTA-ICP has been designed to take advantage of it in winter and to dissipate it in summer. We plan the building as an adaptable and flexible infrastructure to possible changes of use.2014
