"The heritage value of the Colònia Güell is indisputable, and the two buildings in question are the site’s best. The factory volume, with the judicious proportion and ordered repetition of its openings, grants the complex a dignity that is deserving of respect. For this reason, the façades were completely restored. For the new services (stairways, lifts, toilets, etc.), we designed a new building at the centre of each of the existing ones, a contemporary, technological, incombustible building that contrasts with the old one. To this end, the stairways are made of steel and glass, and the outer walls are bright blue glazed brick."
