SARDENYA 356
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.
The project explores the potential of these nineteen th-century facades of the Eixample block patios, with glazed galleries protected by simple rolling wooden shutters, which, when opened, form continuous bal conies along the entire length of the façade. This Mediterranean façade protection system using wooden shutters manages to provide coolness in Barcelona’s hot summers and a large amount of light and a greenhouse effect in its mild winters, in a friendly, simple and highly effective way. We have adapted this Mediterranean shading system with a bespoke design of motorized standard pine shutters mounted on folding aluminum carpentry. By using commercial wood blinds we ensure that they can be easily and cheaply repaired or replaced. The aluminum windows here also go from floor to ceiling to achieve that feeling of maximum openness in summer and winter garden, with polished concrete floors and exposed concrete slab ceilings. The cons truction details have been raised from their mechani cal and physical nature -not only formal- with com binations of tensile and compression elements that balance each other. The ground floor has two pass-through duplexes with a rear garden, protected from the street by sliding pine lattices. The upper body can be fully opened to achieve privacy and an overhead light effect that we believe adds significant value to homes that normally have poor living conditions.
SARDENYA 356是在巴塞羅那12棟房屋之間的隔牆上建造一座建築。它位於科塞加和薩德尼亞街之間的一個狹窄地塊上，毗鄰拐角，但沒有通往街區庭院的通道。基於這種情況，促使建築師在Eixample區內的建築中提出了一個盡可能透明立面的建議，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車流量大的街道影響。 首先，我們是參考當地建築師，如Mitjans、Coderch或Bofill的格柵系統和遮陽板的建築立面。然而，我們很快就被Eixample區後立面的簡單、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。
此案探索了Eixample街區庭院十九世紀立面的潛力，這些立面採用玻璃廊道，並由簡單的捲動木百葉窗保護，當開啟時，它們形成整個立面的連續陽台。這種使用木製百葉窗的地中海立面保護系統，設法在巴塞羅那炎熱的夏天提供涼爽，在冬天溫和的提供大量的光線和溫室效應，這個系統以友好、簡單和高效的方式實現，能夠滿足人們對舒適生活環境的需求。我們運用這種地中海是遮陽系統，並設計一種特製的機動松木百葉窗，採用可折疊的鋁質製作而成，透過木質百葉窗，確保它們可以簡單並且便宜地修復或更換。這裡的鋁窗也從地板到天花板，以達到夏季和冬季花園的最大開放感，搭配拋光混凝土地板和裸露的混凝土天花板。結構施工細節是從其機械和物理性質（不僅僅是形式），而是使用拉伸和壓縮元素的組合相互平衡。底層有兩個直通過道戶外空間，設有後花園，透過滑動松木格柵保護免受街道的干擾。上半部份可以完全開啟，以實現隱私和頂部照明效果，我們認為這樣通常可以改善居住環境，增加了顯著的價值。
