RehaBCN. Studio/House Fernando Poo - Santa Arquitectura
RehaBCN is a non-conventional exhibition proposal focused on distinctive housing refurbishment in Barcelona.
Guided tour of a residential renovation designed by Noelia de la Red and Jordi Ribas, members of the studio Santa Arquitectura. The architects themselves, together with the programme curator, will lead the visits and present the key aspects of the intervention.
Fernando Poo was conceived as a flexible live-work space, designed to evolve over time and accommodate new ways of living and working.
The apartment was stripped back to its original materials, removing all superficial layers to reveal the building's structure and allow the walls to breathe naturally, thereby reducing humidity.
The project combines two previously tested strategies. First, storage and service areas are concentrated along the perimeter, freeing up the central space. Second, an independent volume is introduced as a spatial filter. This volume incorporates the bathroom, part of the kitchen, and movable panels, making it possible to subdivide the space according to daily needs. Together, these defined elements create a series of undefined voids: flexible areas capable of accommodating multiple uses.
A total of 6 visit slots are scheduled, each lasting 20 minutes and accommodating 10 people. Participants are kindly asked to arrive 10 minutes in advance for an introduction and the distribution of informational materials. Waiting will take place outside the building, located at C. Fernando Poo 17, Barcelona.
