Josefa Serra Castells Houses
This set of houses stands out for its urban situation, which recalls the typologies that once existed on the street, and which continue with those on Carrer Nadal. The houses of nos. 15-17 are semi-detached houses with a small annexed garden space, ground floor and first floor. The façade should be highlighted, due to the symmetrical arrangement of the openings and the corner balconies. The facing is smooth and there are sgraffito motifs on the lintels of the openings and on the frieze that runs along the top of the façade. The house of no. 19 is very similar to the previous ones in terms of the façade and the garden.1907 - 1912

Cauhé Raspall House
Two-story house with windows and balconies at the top and doors and windows at the bottom. The roof is flat and has a railing of curvilinear lines, like battlements, with vegetal decoration in the centre, forming ascending curvilinear groups; from the foot of this finish comes a small protective roof that at the same time creates a symmetrical pattern with tiles. The house has modernist elements, such as ceramic borders, staggered corbels that support the overhang of the balconies and sgraffito decoration. Sgrafitto Along the two façades, reproductions of the obverse and reverse of the medals obtained in France and Spain, for the good presentation and quality of the fruits exported by Bonaventura Raspall, are represented. To the left of the façade of Passeig Nadal, a large medal with the inscription "PARIS 1907" is depicted. Then there are two circles and the legends "Culinary Competition", "Diploma of Honour" and "Paris 1907": in the circle on the right, you can see the inscription of the prize and, in the one on the left, a woman and a girl who form the centre of the landscape made up of a house and trees. Next, there is the sgraffito for the "Food and Hygiene Competition" award, which is also composed of two circles: the one on the left presents a woman with a fruit basket helped by a child, and the one on the right inscription of the award. To the right of the façade, the Grand Prize medal of the Barcelona International Exhibition of 1912 is represented, marked with laurel leaves. The medal of the Barcelona International Exhibition of 1912 is represented on the façade of Vidal i Ribas Street. In addition, there is the inscription "YEAR 1916", in reference to the year the house was built, and a monogram with the initials BR, corresponding to the owners of the house: Bonaventura Raspall. This house, built in 1916, was originally Bonaventura Raspall's family’s home as well as a warehouse for the firm he ran, called "La Pilarica"; the fruit and vegetables that were then imported to France were put in their respective boxes here. It later became known by the name of Cauhé Raspall, since Dr. Antoni Cauhé Huguet, (1898-1975), general practitioner and coroner of the city, set up his practice and residence there when he married the heiress of the house: Joana Raspall Juanola (1913-2013) poetess and writer who was awarded a Sant Feliu de Llobregat gold medal and a Sant Jordi Cross.1915 - 1916

Molins' Houses
Detached house between partitions, with a rectangular plan and made up of a ground floor, a main floor and a roof in the Catalan style. On the ground floor it has a plinth that reaches up to the height of the base of the windows. It has a central door flanked by a window on each side. All three openings have a decoration in the shape of a regular trapezoid on top, on which three glazed ceramic tiles with greenish tones and naturalistic motifs from the Pujol i Bausis factory in Esplugues de Llobregat are placed. We also find an imposition of green tiles on both sides of these windows, in their upper part. On the upper floor, once again the central axis of the set stands out from the presence of a small balcony with a door with a wrought iron railing and supported on corbels that die to the façade in a staggered fashion. The front of the balcony platform also has a ceramic decoration in greenish tones that combines smooth pieces with others with naturalistic motifs. On either side of the balcony there are two windows with a sill that pretends to rest on a blind lowered arch. The openings of the ground floor and the first floor coincide in their location on a vertical axis. The elements that give more character to the whole are at the top of the building. At the limit between the end of the floor body and the parapet railing of the upper terrace is an eaves supported on a gallery of blind arches and in the centre of each of the arches is a circular spiral made of glazed ceramic in green tones reproducing motifs similar to those on the ground floor window tiles. In the gap between the rounded shape of the arch and the straight line of the eaves, small triangles or crannies decorated with fragments of blue glazed ceramics are created. Finally, the face of the upper Catalan-style terrace is decorated with a border of geometric motifs made of blue ceramic. The trend of these motifs is horizontal, although in the central part, happening to meet with the line of the door and the balcony, the motifs maintain a vertical line. The scholar Mercè Vidal considers this house as an example of the transition expressed by Borrell from Modernism to Noucentisme. This building maintains notable differences in style from the house that Josefa Serra had built the same year right next to it. The house was commissioned by Josefa Serra de Molins to the municipal architect Gabriel Borrell i Cardona in 1918. Its decoration is very reminiscent of the house located at 12-12 Carreretes Street (file number 3), also designed by Gabriel Borrell. It is part of the Sant Feliu Modernist Route.1914 - 1918

Francesc Serra House
Isolated house preceded by a garden. The building is made up of different cubic structures. The main one with a quadrangular base has a ground floor and two upper floors, with a tiled, hip roof. The central axis of symmetry orders the composition of the façade, with the second floor featuring a solution of tripartite windows in a rounded point in the style of the attic galleries of rural architecture, of Noucentista affiliation. A tower-like structure is attached to one of the sides, with a structure similar to that of the main body.1933

Sant Feliu de Llobregat City Hall
The Casa de la Vila building has a ground floor and two upper floors with a - Arabic tiled hip roof. A central symmetrical axis marks the semicircular arched entrance doorway, flanked by columns, which is extended by the main balcony with balusters and, finally, the sculpted coat of arms. All the openings are protected by a canopy. As for the courthouse building, the articulation between the former and the latter was resolved with a four-storey tower arranged on a chamfered corner and crowned with a tiled pavilion roof. The body of the courthouse building also maintains the canon of symmetry, the openings with a canopy and the balanced distribution of openings and full spaces. All this leads us to situate them in the more "official" character of the Noucentista style. In the 1920s, the municipal architect, Climent Maynés, carried out the renovation of one of the most representative areas of Sant Feliu. The project involved demolishing old houses that occupied part of the space that is now the square (which was planned at the time) and constructing the new town hall and court building. The depth of the site allowed each one to face the façade.first half of the 20th century

La Salut Dwellings
MBM Arquitectes, Oriol Bohigas i Guardiola, David Mackay, Josep Maria Martorell i Codina
It is the first project of the MBM studio that covers an entire block of houses, with a social housing program and a cooperative management system. The block has an irregular shape due to the tangential trace of the Riera de la Salut. The project strictly maintains the external alignment of the four streets and creates an interior square that can only be accessed from two opposite corners. The blocks are configured in a double corridor with an interior courtyard that includes the vertical communication hubs, which can be reached from the square, through porches. The configuration of the set emphasises the semi-public nature of the system of spaces in the interior of the block, which are treated as a network of irregular routes and located at different levels. The houses in the inner blocks, as well as the shops on the ground floor, give the façade to this interior system of spaces, endowed with a great urban character thanks to the treatment of the volumes and the façades.1969 - 1979

Montserrat Roig Public Library
Viaplana / Piñón Arquitectes, Ricard Mercadé i Rogel, Heliodoro Piñón Pallarés, Albert Viaplana i Veà
The library is located in a sloping park, next to the railway, and its layout is based on a reading of the altimetry of the site that does not interfere with the continuity of the park. The building is accessed from the highest level of the park, through a porch formed by the two upper floors. Above the porch, a 45-degree cut opens the two floors to the north through a large window, at the same time expanding and articulating the extension of the park. On the side street, both floors begin the formation of a longitudinal vault, independent of the structural supports, which generates a porch with its concavity. On the opposite side, the reading rooms open onto the park through glass enclosures. In this way, the building adopts an orientation in relation to the point that generated it. The archive is buried under the entrance to the library, always referred to the highest level of the park.1990 - 1993

AD House
DataAE, Claudi Aguiló Aran, Albert Domingo Ollé, Martí Sanz Ausàs
An organisation of the program is proposed by centralising the less private dependencies of the house on the first floor by introducing a ventilated patio-terrace, which allows the living room to face south and at the same time illuminate the lower floor where an outdoor parking, a multipurpose space and the bedrooms. On the second floor, the master bedroom is located as a suite. Construction: vertical steel structure with joints welded in the workshop and assembled and bolted on site, with wooden ceilings with microlaminated beams and Kerto-type plywood boards. External ceramic enclosure with plastered and painted finish, with a protection of ventilated wooden slats on the faces exposed to direct solar radiation. The non-passable roofs are landscaped with low-maintenance plants and the passable ones are with ventilated wooden slats.2004 - 2007

Municipal Swimming Pools
Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona (AMB), DataAE, Claudi Aguiló Aran, Claudi Aguiló Riu, Martí Sanz Ausàs
Given the small dimensions of the site, the main objective of the project is the design of a compact construction, which reduces the potential volumetry of the large surface area equipment and which encompasses, in a single form, the diversity of the program (pools + competition pool with stands + fitness rooms + changing rooms + bar + beauty areas + administration). At the same time and using contemporary construction systems, the exterior expresses, through a repeated window, the variability of its interior. The project wanders and recreates itself between uniqueness and variability. -
Remodelling and Extension of a Terraced Building as 6 Apartments and Parking Space
Ramon Andreu i Muñoz, Núria Canyelles Torrents
It is the renovation of an industrial building at 3 Llorenç Martí Street in Sant Feliu de Llobregat. We want to preserve the volume of the existing building in order to prevent it from increasing in height and creating a conflict with the neighbouring buildings that surround it, with heights between ground floor + 4 landings and ground floor + 6 landings, due to the existence of servitudes of views and sunshine. The current PGM 1976 planning allowed other building conditions that significantly harmed the views and the sunlight that the existing homes have, given that the building planned by the planning should be 2.15 m higher than the existing one.2008

Fàbregas Pre-School Centre
The Fàbregas nursery school is defined according to criteria of volumetric integration in the environment, creating terraced volumes that offer panoramic views of the river and follow the extension of the adjacent gardens. The building highlights the sloping topography of the site, trying to reduce the impact of excavation and backfilling. The complex is resolved as a continuous body on the ground floor and flat roof. The most suitable space is freed up by the playground facing SW and separated from the adjacent car park by means of concrete walls. The accesses, both the main one and the services, are given directly by the Sànson Road, where the server spaces are located (offices, kitchen, lobby, space for prams). On the other side of the hall there is the multi-purpose room (which can be divided) and from this point you can reach the other 2 sectors: the corridor corresponding to the classrooms for 0-2 year olds; and then the 2-3 year old classrooms. Both sectors contain adjoining bathroom and bedroom spaces. The rear rooms are ventilated by interior patios that provide light to the space.2012

Riera de la Salut
FEM Arquitectura, Pol Femenias Ureña
Intervention in the middle of a consolidated urban fabric, filling the void left by the demolition of an old textile factory. The park is structured based on the middle traces of the existing houses that used to be wall to wall with the factory. Each body is given a different personality, creating convexities or concavities according to the degree of relationship with the environment and generating sitting corners or more exposed spaces. The new topography accommodates medium-sized trees that should eventually add some colour to the park. The partition walls, previously hidden by the factory, are nuanced with a ceramic lattice that incorporates the different densities, textures and transparencies of the existing enclosures. -
L'Escorxador Municipal Swimming Pool
Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona (AMB), Claudi Aguiló Riu, Jordi Pruna
The aim of the project is to remodel and optimise the installation of the Escorxador Municipal swimming pool. The project, divided into two phases, also includes the construction of a new building for changing rooms, toilets and space for the Red Cross. The criteria for arranging the pool and its surroundings follow the guidelines of an agricultural plot, like the one right in front, following the path of the Llobregat River. Pavement "gardens" structure the space around and inside the pools. The traditional navy bands that mark the different competition lanes come together to suggest, amidst the spots of colour that invite you to a recreational swim, a path for more sporty swimming. When you go outside, the same pavement marks the access paths to the various services (toilets, Red Cross, terrace-bar). If for the arrangement of the pool and its surroundings similar guidelines are followed to those of an agricultural plot, for the new building complicity is sought with the constructions specific to these spaces. In a fence-wall that follows the alignment of Del Pla Street, regulates access at its ends and protects the privacy of bathers, three volumes are supported that function independently and accommodate three main uses: changing rooms, toilets and the Red Cross. Each volume, with an inclined roof, is oriented and sized according to its needs. The various silhouettes are united by a smaller body with a flat roof that is at the same time access, porch and corridor. This results in spaces that want to be more domestic and welcoming for the user and where the interior and the exterior are fluidly connected. The use of materials incorporates the patterns of economy and efficiency typical of agricultural constructions: ceramic factory walls for the structure and enclosures, and metal sheet panels supported by wooden beams for the roof.2013 - 2016

Remodelling of a Terraced House Laureà Miró
It is the rehabilitation of an old and simple house in the historic centre of Sant Feliu de Llobregat which is based on the conservation of the original composition, volume and structure of the house and on the demolition of the interior walls and the staircase to carry out a new distribution that suits the needs of the owner, that improves the natural light and the energetic envelope of the building. The new distribution is characterised by being more diaphanous and by being made with partitions of light construction.2015 - 2016

Descuadra House
Something that characterises this intervention is that it finds itself between party walls. A gift to a good friend starts an intervention that develops over 7 years. The project serves as a guide to the refurbishment that its owner, others and I have been developing without specialists on the matter. At first, we understood that the house adjoined the garage as a "main space". The rest of the spaces on this floor respond in an intuitive way to the needs of a house for one person. The dining room and the living room take up existing spaces and overturn the block’s patio. In the background, the office becomes a voyeur of the home. The staircase surrounding the kitchen provides access to the first floor. The interior façade is the result of the interior spaces’ needs. A staircase above it provides access to the deck, now the largest space in the house and its future living room. This change will give continuity to the current intervention.2017

40 Dwellings Anselm Clavé, 21
MAIO, Maria Charneco Llanos, Alfredo Lérida Horta, Guillermo López Ibáñez, Anna Puigjaner Barberà
Located in Sant Feliu de Llobregat, in a suburban neighbourhood, the plot with rectangular shape has an area of 923.34 m2. It is bordered on the south-east and south-west by the communal area of a eight floors apartment building, and on the north-east with several buildings of industrial use, and to the Northwest with Carrer d'Anselm Clavé. The four-storey multi-family building will have 40 social housing units, with a ground floor plus five floors, and will include two basement floors (parking and storage rooms). It is an orthogonal parallelepiped volume with two nuclei of vertical communication. The standard plants are arranged around these two nuclei and one open space, with eight dwellings per floor. The units composed of generic spaces, non-hierarchical, flexible and adaptable to changes in the vital needs of its inhabitants, and which simultaneously develop several simultaneous strategies that complement each other and have in common the improvement of living conditions, urban construction, social equality and meeting the challenges of sustainability. The ground floor follows the shape and language of the urban space for greater integration between the two. A hard pavement route is maintained to facilitate the accessibility and maintenance of the urban space, and two volumes are located to accommodate retail spaces without a definite use, the communications core of stairs and elevator. And the rooftop is passable for community use.2018 - 2023
