An unused industrial building is the focus of this renovation project. It is a textile factory situated in the marshes of La Moixina and La Deu, within the natural reserve of the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone. In the mid-20th century, this factory utilized its crystal-clear water channels to dispose of waste from its industrial activities. Our task is to repurpose this building into the new offices of a consulting firm dedicated to enhancing the energy efficiency of large companies in the manufacturing sector.

Regarding the distribution of functions within the complex, the renovation involves liberating the main volume from partitions, creating a spacious area for meetings and collaborative work. Offices, a kitchenette, services, and facilities are organized in the annexed roof, while the existing roof is replaced with a new flat roof, aiding in the clarification of its historical evolution.

In line with its new purpose, the renovation adheres to the requirements for obtaining the American LEED certification for energy efficiency. The main materials used in the project include corrugated sheet steel to cover the smaller volume, giving it  an abstract character. Additionally, climbing vegetation adorns the facade of the main building and the shrubs delineate the parking areas, with the common intention of mitigating human presence in this protected natural environment.
