MYBRAIN
The project is located in Barcelona, in an area at the intersection of residential and office uses, and forms part of a large residential complex from the 1960s (Giráldez–López Íñigo–Subías, architects). The space features two open ends and a perfectly regular structural grid.
The program was divided into two parts: on one side, a solid volume resulting from arranging all the consultation rooms in a linear sequence; on the other, a completely empty space, open at both ends.
The fold emerges as a response to resolve the envelope of this solid element, separating the access to each individual space while providing privacy and dynamism. This folded skin is constructed in wood, conceived as a large-scale screen.
The void is organized through elements that do not enclose but rather define space. Rounded volumes facilitate circulation and accommodate the entrance desk and the staff office on the upper level. Their glazed ceramic skin gives them a strong presence within the open plan.
Finally, a series of filters—such as ceramic lattices, curtains, and plants—add privacy without compromising spatial fluidity.
The ceramic lattice, composed of individual pieces, is a custom design by the studio and is applied in this space for the first time.
