La Petra appears to us in its original state, an obsolete dwelling located in a building between party walls in the Gràcia neighborhood. After freeing it from the existing partitions, the strategy is to generate a new independent box that acts as a distributor element, segregating the different uses of the dwelling, while containing the kitchen, the main bathroom, and the storage space. This box allows the space to be read as a unit, while also having the capacity to visually segregate it according to the situations. The project aims to revalue the original materials and elements of the building such as the wooden beams, the party walls with references to the old roof, and the hydraulic pavements, while at the same time inserting new materials, establishing an intentional constant dialogue, from the contrast, with the pre-existence.

La Petra nos aparece en su estado original, una vivienda obsoleta situada en una finca entre medianeras del barrio de Gràcia. Después de liberarla de las particiones existentes, la estrategia es la de generar una nueva caja independiente que actúa como elemento distribuidor, segregando los distintos usos de la vivienda, a la vez que contiene la cocina, el baño principal y el espacio de almacenamiento. Esta caja permite la lectura del espacio como una unidad, del mismo modo que tiene la capacidad de segregarlo visualmente según las situaciones. El proyecto apuesta por la revalorización de los materiales y elementos originales de la finca como las vigas de madera, las medianeras con referentes de la antigua cubierta y los pavimentos hidráulicos, mientras que, a la vez, se insertan unos nuevos materiales, estableciendo un intencionado diálogo constante, desde el contraste, con la preexistencia.
