El proyeThe project consists in ther reform and adequacy of the Cal Jardiner cottage for the council of Parets del Vallès with a program of Occupational and Youth training center.

The cottage is located in the Cal Jardiner Park in Parets del Vallès with wide view of the town and toward the farmland that suround it.

The council requested to preserve at the maximum the existing buildings. This request was answered with the first project idea that proposes to preserve the main building, demolishing all adjoining buildings. We express this way of acting with a commitment to the historical memory of the place and the landscape and the environment. We preserve the main building as an identifier element of the site although it has no architectural value, the outside intervention is minim. We only conserve some moldings in the façade and the volume is painted in red.

Inside the project seeks to expand and give character to a very small building. The High-narrow lobby is responsible for it, like a giant blue pressed into a small red box.
A tight budget and especially a very short execution time have been challenges of the project. We always try to respond the requests of the client, this time a public client.
