The programme called for the inclusion of a civic centre on a site on the outskirts of Hostalets de Balenyà.

The building is conceived in such a way that it turns its back on the village and creates a transparent façade that generates its own public space, on the other side of the street. The smaller parts of the programme (workshops, classrooms, offices) are suspended on the upper floors, formed by a system of lattice girders that fan out and have the height of a floor. This fan determines the inner garden and the large void below, which is an event hall for 300 people.

EUMies Award

The programme is interpreted hierarchically and in combination with the reading of the site, so that the building could host programmes with a similar cast. The stairs leading to the attic embrace the building on both sides, one on the inside and one on the outside.
