37 Dwellings in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat / b720 Fermín Vázquez Arquitectos

Valeria Silva — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 03:00:00 +0000

A humble "build to rent" building of 37 dwellings in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, located in a peripheral area, in an urban fabric in constant transformation from an industrial to a residential area and with limited economic resources. The design choices were driven by the search for a solution that takes advantage of the conditions of the site in relation to orientation, sunlight and comfort of its occupants, while being rational and economical, easy to maintain and flexible to future adaptations.

Simon SWITCH Building / b720 Fermín Vázquez Arquitectos

Andreas Luco — Sun, 15 Dec 2024 17:00:00 +0000

The rehabilitation of the old Simon factory to house the new Corporate Headquarters arose from the need to unify the more than 350 employees of the two previous offices under one roof. The project is based on the idea of preserving the existing building from the second half of the 20th century, while introducing elements that highlight the new use, in the centre of Barcelona’s technological development.

The office project is located in the Poblenou neighborhood within the district of Sant Martí. The plot on which the project is developed as part of the former yute spinning factory complex of the Godó brothers, popularly known as "El Cànem", which occupied up to three entire blocks of the Eixample and established itself as the center of the working class life of the time.

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 12:00:00 +0000

The Polaris North office building arises from the replacement of a pre-existing building with a new, efficient, representative and functional one, which would also boost the development of the immediate surroundings.

Germina Foundation / b720 Fermín Vázquez Arquitectos

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 01 Apr 2019 12:00:00 +0000

Germina Foundation is an organization that works with children and young people at risk of social exclusion, caring for them, monitoring and reinforcing their education, and providing educational support for their training and future entry into the labor market. This monitoring process, which aims to build a bond by engaging participants through complementary programs from the moment they arrive as young children up until their entry into the workforce, needed to have a space where it could accommodate its three key age groups in three areas that could be either connected or independent. The program for the building also had to house the organization's administrative staff. Improving the neighborhood's social fabric, community action, and collaboration with local organizations through workshops, courses, and other social activities are also among the foundation's aims.

Lycée Français Maternelle in Barcelona / b720 Fermín Vázquez Arquitectos

Rayen Sagredo — Thu, 02 Aug 2018 02:00:00 +0000

The existing school was the result of additions of temporary buildings over many years around two villas of the early twentieth century. The new set brings forward a dialogue between the historical school and the new one. A visual and programmatic relationship is established between both buildings, through a porch that allows indoor communication connecting them with a space under which to shelter in case of rain.

Forma Itaim Tower / b720 Fermín Vázquez Arquitectos

Daniel Tapia — Thu, 28 Jun 2018 13:00:00 +0000

The apartments tower is located in Itaim Bibi in São Paulo, a neighbourhood in a deep transformation, which is moving from the traditional fabric of horizontal single-family homes to a skyline of buildings in height, mainly homes that meet a growing residential demand for a prosperous upper middle class in the economic capital of the country.

Spanish Pavilion / b720 Fermín Vázquez Arquitectos

Karissa Rosenfield — Wed, 10 Sep 2014 01:00:00 +0000

Barcelona’s b720 arquitectos has designed a greenhouse-inspired pavilion to represent Spain at the 2015 Milan Expo. Representing a “fusion” of Spain’s gastronomic tradition and innovation, the portico-like structure will be divided into two halves and united by a repetitious form.

House Ampudrán / b720 Fermín Vázquez Arquitectos

Daniel Sánchez — Fri, 06 Dec 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Located on a very uneven plot of land and skirting the perimeter of a small rural village perched on a hill, the house consists of a series of walls matching the topography. The house, which is relatively big compared to the rest of buildings of the village, goes unnoticed leaving the image of the village in the landscape unaltered. The project is a contemporary response to the programme and the backdrop, although it assumes, with discipline, strict rules concerning materials, empty spaces and covers.

Mercat Encants / b720 Fermín Vázquez Arquitectos

Daniel Sánchez — Tue, 03 Dec 2013 01:00:00 +0000

Els Encants in Barcelona is a centenarian marketplace, which has traditionally been set outdoors in an informal way. Its current location is not far from the market’s new grounds and is going to occupy the junction of Merdiana Avenue with Las Glorias Square. The project's main objective was to maintain the open nature of the current outdoor market Els Encants. The limited size of the new grounds (8,000 m2) was a great constraint, as the commercial programme was more than double that area.

Costa Brava Gran Casino / b720 Fermín Vázquez Arquitectos

Nico Saieh — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 00:00:00 +0000

The Gran Casino Costa Brava, located in the historic gardens of the Gran Hotel Monterrey in the centre of Lloret de Mar (Girona), is based on a distinctive environmental and architectural project by b720 Arquitectos, headed by Fermín Vázquez. At once practical and singular, the design of the new casino breaks with convention by approaching the complex as a unified structure that rises out of the ground. The building is divided into three clearly differentiated levels that are integrated in the surrounding environment.

City of Justice Barcelona & L’Hospitalet de Llobregat / b720 Fermín Vázquez Arquitectos + David Chipperfield

Nico Saieh — Thu, 27 May 2010 00:00:00 +0000

Previously, the various legal departments of the governments of Barcelona and l’Hospitalet were scattered in 17 buildings across the two cities, with functional frustrations for both users and employees. A new conjoined City of Justice will improve efficiency and allow working spaces to adapt and absorb the constant transformation of the judicial body as well as provide reserve space for future growth.

Indra Corporate Building / b720 Fermín Vázquez Arquitectos + R&AS

David Basulto — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 00:00:00 +0000

An office building on a trapezoidal site which forms part of the actions for sector 22@ in Barcelona. The total built surface area is 10,375 m2 and it consists of a ground floor plus 12 more floors. The floors located above grade are devoted to offices, and those below grade to parking for 40 vehicles and service rooms for private use. The proposal is for a tower rising above a more solid and compact three-storey plinth, aligned with Carrer Tànger. The tower section, with a rhomboid floor plan, follows the line of the chamfered corner, without slavishly reproducing it, to reinforce the slender complexity of the resulting volume. Its ten storeys are separated from the plinth by a service floor, recessed with respect to the plane of the facade, so that it seems to float above the base, lending it lightness.
