Change of use from shop into dwelling

In Hostench Architects we are specialised in changes of use. We have achieved many different changes of use from shops or warehouses into dwellings. This complicated legal step can only be done by experts in real state laws and regulations.

In this case, and old jewelry in Barcelona was readapted into a single dwelling in a ground floor of an apartments building. The windows were protected with modern sliding bars, also able to use them as bookshelves.

Rehabilitation of an old barn into a Single House

(Under Construction)

An old barn in the countryside with great roof trusses made of concrete is being transformed into a single dwelling of two floors for a local artist. We have disposed several inner courts to bring natural light to the house, but keeping the inner structure of the old barn.

The distribution allows natural fluxes and open spaces between the two floors in order to improve diagonal visuals and connectivity in the several spaces. The façades will be covered with a filter to give some privacity to the users as well as the courts.
