is a small practice that operates between architecture, research and academia. driven by an interest in existing structures and their potential for transformation, the office explores what preservation means today and how reuse can transcend purely ecological motivations and generate new architectural discourses. the office was founded in 2022 by laura solsona and eduard fernàndez.

Two guest rooms with open bathrooms transform spaces that were originally inhabited by animals—one red, the other green. The project introduces a series of formal and scalar games, blending new and existing vernacular elements of the house to respond to the unusual proportions of the rooms. One room was so small that integrating the bathroom into the main space helped maximize its use. Three light green wardrobes offer a degree of privacy for the shower and toilet, while also defining the sleeping area. The green tiles blend with the bright tones of the walls, allowing for a softer, more relaxed mood. The other room is quite the opposite. The tunnel-like shape and its plaster vaults make the scale of the space ambiguous.
