NN Concept, 1992-1994

 

Location: Barcelona

Collaborators:

Coordinator: Carles Díaz

Project director: Pep Palaín

Interior design: Eduardo Egozcue

Built area: 5.700 m2

A building accommodating offices, shops, apartments and a carpark (1994), located in front of Barcelona's Concepció market. The challenge here was to achieve a noteworthy façade despite the restrictive regulations of this part of Barcelona's Ensanche. The approach was to make the best of the situation by playing with the limitations. The façade has served as inspiration for other similar projects, and is a blend of the traditional Ensanche façade and a more modern image, in keeping with its use as an office block.
