The intervention at the Molins industrial complex transforms a former access and circulation area into a high‑quality public space designed to enhance comfort, social interaction, and connection with the surrounding environment. Although located within a private industrial site, the project prioritizes openness, permeability, and shared use, reinforcing the collective character of the outdoor areas.
The new public spaces around the office buildings are conceived as places for meeting, resting, and outdoor activity. A sequence of shaded areas, gathering zones, gardens, and accessible pathways creates a fluid, obstacle‑free layout that connects buildings and daily routes. This organization ensures universal accessibility, clear internal circulation, and a comfortable experience for all users.
To improve climatic comfort and encourage year‑round use, several pergolas provide shade and define pleasant micro‑environments that support social interaction. These structural elements also contribute to the architectural identity of the project. High‑quality urban furniture by Escofet—part of the Molins group—reinforces durability, functionality, and landscape integration through carefully placed benches, planters, and complementary elements.
The intervention strengthens the relationship between the new public spaces and the historic industrial buildings of Ciments Molins, designed by Catalan architect Francesc Escudero i Ribot. The reorganization of the exterior areas enhances the visibility and appreciation of these significant examples of industrial architecture, improving their dialogue with the surrounding built environment.
Environmental Strategy
The project adopts an advanced environmental approach based on Nature‑Based Solutions that promote renaturalization, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. The planting strategy uses Mediterranean species arranged in three layers—trees, shrubs, and groundcover—to improve ecological stability, reduce resource consumption, and minimize maintenance. This intervention represents the first step in creating a territorial ecological corridor that will connect the Cervelló green‑blue system with the Costa Pelada hill (Garraf Massif).
