Project Description
The project of this new funeral home, located in the Sants District of Barcelona, is placed inside an existing building, the former Germans Climent factory. The proposal respects the original architecture of the building and enhances it by restoring the existing building to bring it back to its original state. At the same time, the new additions for the new use are designed and placed in order to respect as much as possible the building and its past. The main strategy of the project is to build a building within a building. The industrial building becomes a container for the new funeral home, where the wooden roof with metal trusses acts as a protective element and becomes the true protagonist of the architectural proposal.
