Barcelona, Spain

The project is the construction of a building between party walls of 12 houses in Barcelona. It is located on a narrow plot between Còrsega and Sardenya streets, adjacent to the corner but without access to the block patio. This almost residual condition in the Eixample fabric led us to propose a façade that was as transparent as possible, connecting the houses as much as possible with the Mediterranean climate of Barcelona but at the same time protecting them from the sun and from a street with a lot of mo torized traffic. Our most apparent references at first were the fa cades with lattice systems and brise soleil of some local projects by architects such as Mitjans, Coderch or Bofill. Still, we were immediately fascinated by the simplicity of the rear facades of the Eixample, with their apparent non-existence design, practicality and beauty. 

SARDENYA 356 位於西班牙巴塞隆納12座連排建築中的其中一棟，座落於科塞加和薩德尼亞街之間的一塊狹窄的基地上，毗鄰街區轉角，由於它沒有獨立通往庭院的通道，基於這種情況，促使建築師在建築中提出了一個盡可能穿透立面的建議，將巴塞羅那地中海氣候與房屋連接起來，同時保護它們免受陽光和街道車流量大的影響。 因此，我們參考當地建築師，如 Mitjans、Coderch 或 Bofill 的格柵系統和雨遮的建築立面，很快地就被 Eixample 區簡單、實用和美觀所吸引，它們看起來似乎沒有特別的設計，卻令人印象深刻。 

The project explores the potential of the 19th-century facades of the inner courtyards of the Eixample neighborhood, which are equipped with glass galleries protected by simple rolling wooden shutters that, when opened, create continuous balconies across the entire facade. Friendly, simple and very effective, this Mediterranean-style facade protection system uses wooden louvres to provide cooling during Barcelona's hot summers and a lot of light and a greenhouse effect during the mild winters. We adapted this Mediterranean shading system and designed a custom motorized pine louvre mounted on a folding aluminum frame. Using commercial wooden blinds ensures they can be repaired or replaced easily and cost-effectively.

該項目探討了 Eixample 街區內庭19世紀立面的潛力，這些立面配有簡單的滾動木製百葉窗保護的玻璃畫廊，當百葉窗打開時，形成整個立面連續的陽台。這種地中海式的立面保護系統使用木製百葉窗，能夠在巴塞羅那炎熱的夏季提供涼爽，並在溫和的冬季提供大量光線和溫室效應，這種方式友好、簡單且非常有效。我們根據這種地中海遮陽系統進行了改造，設計了一種定制的機動松木百葉窗，安裝在折疊式鋁框上。使用商業木製百葉窗確保它們可以輕鬆且低成本地修理或更換。

這裡的鋁製窗戶從地板延伸到天花板，實現了在夏季和冬季花園中最大程度的開放感，並搭配拋光混凝土地板和裸露的混凝土板天花板。建築細節不僅從形式上，也從力學和物理屬性上進行了考量，結合了張力和壓力元素來平衡彼此。底層有兩個帶後花園的穿越式複層公寓，這些公寓通過滑動松木格柵與街道隔開。上層部分可以完全打開，以實現隱私和頂部光線效果，我們相信這能為通常生活條件不佳的住宅增添顯著的價值。
