This complex of buildings located between Barcelona’s Via Agusta and C/ Saragossa in the Sarrià - Sant Gervasi neighbourhood is a community centre for neighbouring residents.
Designed by SUMO Arquitectes and Yolanda Olmo as an NZEB (nearly zero energy building) the building uses simple and more advanced technology to lower energy consumption such as roof solar panels and a gallery circulation system that can be more or less open depending on the weather conditions.
This project includes the refurbishment of the existing 19th C villa and gardens on the site, the former home of scientist Josep Comas i Solà who discovered 945 Barcelona, a minor planet or asteroid orbiting the sun named after his native city.
