Nestled in the picturesque Sants neighborhood of Barcelona, the Sants Theatro project is a shining example of the transformative power of adaptive reuse. This project breathes new life into a once-thriving textile factory from the 1930s and ‘20s. The theatre design pays homage to the factory’s rich history by carefully conserving its iconic brick structure while seamlessly integrating a contemporary steel framework. This revitalized design houses a small community theatre, classrooms, and offices, and its ground floor fosters a dynamic connection to the adjacent park, complete with a charming outdoor theatre. This project holds a special place in my heart as my first group endeavor, and I have never been prouder of an achievement.
