Andrés Muruais House / NAN Arquitectos

Andreas Luco — Fri, 10 Nov 2023 02:00:00 +0000

A home for a couple, a baby, and two dogs. Taking into account the pre-existence, a very respectful project is carried out with these essential elements of the old home. We kept the doors, some carpentry elements, and slabs and discovered the concrete structures that we considered interesting.

La Mejicana Refurbishment / Alba Balmaseda

Andreas Luco — Tue, 01 Nov 2022 02:00:00 +0000

La Mejicana looks for opportunities in the limitations. A project that consciously respects the existing and attempts to reduce interventions to a minimum. A special focus on reviving disregarded elements and reinventing interior and exterior spaces. This project is a renovation of an existing building. It would be impossible to build a new house in that proximity to the seafront, given the strict regulations in Spain for coast protection. The only allowed interventions for this existing building were repair, upgrade, structural consolidation, and energy improvement. Being expressly forbidden to increase the built volume. These restrictions have both strongly conditioned the development of the project and at the same time opened up unexpected possibilities. The transformation of the existing space is designed from a deep understanding of what is inherited from the original structure and its inhabitants, the conditioning factors of strict regulation, the needs of the new residents, and what the place gives.

Flow Yoga and Movement Studio / Nan Arquitectos

Valeria Silva — Tue, 09 Mar 2021 02:00:00 +0000

It is said that yoga is the union of body and mind. Our job was to find a place where this was possible, creating a comfortable and flexible space to practice sports as well as a warm and calm environment for meditation.

Cerponzóns Football Field / Santos y Mera Arquitectos

Daniel Tapia — Sat, 02 Feb 2019 09:00:00 +0000

In Chan do Monte, in the city of Pontevedra, there was an old football field made of earth, with all their facilities in a poor condition. It is a rural location, in the town of Cerponzóns, in a raised zone over the valley of the rivers Lérez and Rons, with good access from the national road and close to the city. The intervention aims to create a new artificial grass football field over the existing field and improve and increase the facilities with new buildings for the changing rooms, toilets, canteen, infirmary and a couple of warehouses, as well as a new lighting system for the football field.

House in Monteporreiro / rodriguez + pintos

Cristian Aguilar — Thu, 10 Jan 2019 12:00:00 +0000

When looking for architectural pre-existences in Monteporreiro, we find out that the place did not have any previous “partial plans”.

Sonia Portela Hair Salon / NAN Arquitectos

Daniel Tapia — Tue, 04 Dec 2018 16:01:00 +0000

A hair salon for all audiences, with a certain feminine, elegant, and youthful trend. With these premises, Sonia Portela approached us to design her first hair salon as a personal project, with clear intentions of setting an aesthetic trend that represents her professional ethics and her target clientele. The space, previously used for the same purpose, was outdated and cold, with details that took us back to the 1980s—the use of gold-colored trim, glass display cases, and an endless combination of elements that marked uncoordinated interventions over the years.

Baiona Public Library / Murado & Elvira Architects

Rayen Sagredo — Thu, 05 Jul 2018 05:00:00 +0000

In 2010, when Murado & Elvira Architects won the competition to design the Public Library and Historic Archive of the city of Baiona (Spain), they decided to design a place that would convey a sense of domesticity to its users: they came up with the idea of a warm wooden dress, tailor-made for the ancient building. A dress that covers the interiors of the architectural body, leaving the exterior almost unchanged. The old Sancti Spiritus Hospital thus reconquered its original role, by becoming a new home for scholars and readers. And for tourists too. The city of Baiona, located on the west coast of Spain, is located along the Camino de Santiago and is visited every year by thousands of pilgrims. In addition, the Baiona Historic Archive is one of the most relevant in the area, preserving documents dating back to the discovery of Americas. Baiona was in fact the port where La Pinta, one of the three caravels led by Christopher Columbus towards the New World, arrived on its way back in 1493.

Pontevedra Water Supply / Padilla Nicás Arquitectos

Daniel Tapia — Thu, 07 Sep 2017 05:00:00 +0000

Monteporreiro is a natural place next to the river Lérez, few kilometers from the city of Pontevedra. In this place, there is a catchment and pumping of water from the river for urban supply. The increase in population to be supplied necessitates the expansion of the capacity of the aforementioned collection and pumping station, maintaining its position along the river.

AGi Wins Competition to Transform Galician Roman Ruins into Sensory Museum

Niall Patrick Walsh — Sat, 28 Jan 2017 14:00:00 +0000

AGi Architects has won a competition to transform 18 ancient Roman sites into a natural museum in Pontevedra, Galicia, Spain. The winning proposal, entitled In Natura Veritas, was selected from 26 submissions in a competition organized by the Spanish Ministry of Public Works. The AGi scheme, due to be realized in the coming months, aims to preserve the memory of the natural environment chosen as a living place by the Roman settlers hundreds of years ago and to treat the visitor to a multi-sensory journey through the 18 sites across the Pontevedra landscape.

Dental Clinic Adriana García / NAN arquitectos

Florencia Mena — Mon, 04 Apr 2016 15:00:00 +0000

The main problem in this project was fit the extensive program to the reduced area, only 62 square meters.

Iconweb Offices / NAN Arquitectos

Daniela Cardenas — Fri, 01 Apr 2016 05:00:00 +0000

An old billiard, well known in the city, became in to a place to develop digital marketing.

Textiles del Sur Offices / Ana Smud

Fernanda Castro — Fri, 06 Sep 2013 01:00:00 +0000

Textiles Offices are in the neighborhood of Palermo, on the top floor of a building from the 1960s with a triple facade, surrounded by taller buildings and an environment of new, higher apartment towers. This situation makes it a rather unusual urban piece. Its roof, an independent functional unit, was unoccupied for over 30 years. Split in half by a sharp height difference, half of it was silver desolation under the sky, and half was a wide metal structure.

Pasarón Stadium / ACXT

Daniel Sánchez — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Facing Pontevedra, on the other side of the river Lerez, an untidy urban setting has developed with a mixture of houses and amenities. It is an environment that demands clear actions that will regenerate the urban surroundings. The renovation of the old Pasaron stadium tried to liberate space on its perimeter in order to create new urban squares and green areas for the enjoyment of neighbours and to allow for an easier access to the stadium.

Urban Day Care Center for Alzheimer Patients / Cid + Santos

Javier Gaete — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 01:00:00 +0000

This is an Urban Day Care Center for Alzheimer Patients, a space that will spend much of their time people with severe memory problems. It is intended to escape from a ghetto center, providing a warm, pleasant, cheerful, with strong visual and above all a friendly relationship with the outside, both for the patient, to the passer.

Gorgullón Social Center / Jose Jorge Santos Ogando + Angel Cid Carballo

Jonathan Alarcón — Sat, 13 Oct 2012 01:00:00 +0000

The Social Center for the O Gorgullón neighborhood, which holds the Pontevedra town hall, will be the first of a future web of social centers in other neighborhoods across the city. The interior has a simple, unspecialized organization which allows for a multi-functionality of use for people of distinct ages and interests.

A Parda Health Centre / Vier Arquitectos

Andrew Rosenberg — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000

The new Health Centre is located in A Parda, a recent urban sprawl area on the outskirts of the city of Pontevedra, where the recent expansion of the urban structure is still coexisting with rural areas. The building emerges in a large lot surrounded by different kind of buildings like the new Music School, apartment blocks and some other facilities still to be defined.
