As director of the Pilar i Joan Miró Foundation, Miguel Servera commissioned Rafael Moneo to design a building to complete the group of constructions on Joan Miró's property in Son Abrines: an 18th century manor house, the house designed for his family by the architect Juncosa and a studio designed by the architect Josep Lluís Sert.

The building confronts the deteriorated environment and tries to rescue the lost bay, bringing the water to the roof of a concrete construction made up of a longitudinal element topped by a star-shaped polygon that has something of the bastion of a fortification, reflecting how much the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró defends itself from a hostile environment.

On the contrary, the fractured and broken condition of this architecture makes it easy for Miró's work - always linked to epiphanic and discontinuous instants - to fit comfortably into it.
