The old market in the Ferreries neighbourhood, after several decades of disuse, is rehabilitated and enlarged to house the new Civic Centre. The building of the old Ferreries market is preserved and its extension is used to generate a transition space that allows the existing building to relate to the Joan Monclús square and at the same time completes the profile of the façades that define this public space.

The old building is incorporated into the public space by means of a new access, turning its interior outwards. The intervention in the Joan Monclús square resolves the accessibility to the existing building and the current Civic Centre at ground level, while opening up the possibility of open-air activities.

A close relationship is established between the market and its extension, understanding the horizontal composition lines - cornices and skirting board -; contrasting the new façade in height; contrasting a white interior of the warehouse, of nuanced and homogeneous light, of acoustics cushioned by the wooden slats, with a new dark façade, of shadows marked by the grooved texture of the material. A dialogue between an introverted space and a public space open to the community of the Ferreries neighbourhood.
