該建築位於巴塞羅那的Gracia街區，在一棟建築的首層。它已經被列入了一個等級C的保護項目(城市利益)。從上世紀90年代起，它就成了一家擁有混合牌照的酒吧。它的內部，就像20世紀在巴塞羅那的大部分戶型一樣，是一個細長的管狀，後面有一個小天井。
The premises are located in a building’s ground floor, in the Gracia neighbourhood in Barcelona. It has been catalogued with a level C of protection (Well of Urban Interest). As from the 90s, it has worked as a bar with a mixed licence. The interior, as it happens with the vast majority of ground floors from the 1900s in Barcelona, has the shape of an elongated tube, with a small patio at the back.
▼酒吧改造過後的入口，the bar entrance after renovation
為了改造老舊的設計，設計師考慮了以下幾個標準。立面的恢復：在原來的狀態下，入口門洞的高度為4.5米，只有一半的地方被遮蓋，有一個老煙囪的格柵，還有一個很大的不透明的標誌。設計將要把這些元素去除，使建築回到最初的組成並讓整體看起來高貴優雅。可達性：門口的斜坡用了一個更加平緩的坡度代替，斜率小於4%，不一察覺。緩坡從入口開始一直到酒吧處才結束。自然採光：復原建築立面，切除原有的天花板，從入口處將光的進入增倍。在建築物的後面，舊辦公室的圍合被拆除，衛生間裝上了兩個大開口，產生讓自然光進入的通道。聲學舒適性：考慮到公共場所的聲學要求，天花板和部分側面已經覆蓋了軟木面板，這是一種吸音材料，因此可以避免混響，也可以減少對鄰居的干擾。軟木飾面的塑料品質被用作建築的主要裝飾主題。
▼整個室內空間狹長，天花板用了類似軟塞的材料且開出多個安裝人工照明的頂槽；inside the bar is a long and narrow space, the ceiling uses materials that remind people of wall corks and have cut out multiple caves with artificial lights
In order to reform the old establishment, the following criteria have been taken into account: Restitution of the façade: in the original state, the entrance hole, with a height of 4.50m, was only covered halfway, with grates which belonged to an old smoke extraction, and a large opaque sign. The proposal eliminates these elements, going back to the original composition and dignifying the building. Accessibility: the interior slopes are eliminated at the access, replacing them with a smooth slope, which is less than 4% and imperceptible. It goes from the entrance till the beginning of the bar. Natural lighting: the restitution of the patrimonial façade, cutting out the original ceiling, duplicates the entrance of light from the access. At the back of the establishment, the closings of the old office are demolished and the distribution of the restrooms is modified to make two large openings, which generate a new entrance of very necessary natural light. Acoustic comfort: given the acoustic requirements of a public venue, the false ceiling and part of the sides have been covered with cork panels, a sound-absorbent material, so reverberation can be avoided and also to reduce transmission to the neighbours. The plastic qualities of the cork finish are used as the main decorative motif of the establishment.

周邊：之前已經提到過，天花板和牆都內襯軟木。這種材料讓人們想起釣魚的材料。其切割產生的條紋在原處和放置天花板的地方製造出韻律感，使得燈泡看起來像是懸浮著。在這個天花板上製作了一系列凹洞，突出了內部的節奏，並尋求一種自然天頂照明的感覺。大部分的牆壁都有輔助工作條，與內襯藍白相間的斜面瓷磚和白色瓷磚相一致。不同組合的主題最終生成了抽象的壁畫，這些壁畫分佈在整個建築中。最後，一個連續的自整平的路面與牆壁相關聯，給整體帶來了一種抽象感。
Surrounding: as we have said beforehand, the false ceiling and the walls are lined with cork, an element which evokes fishing materials, making use of its cutting to generate stripes which will generate a rhythm throughout the local and where the light bulbs will be placed, as if they were floating. In this existent false ceiling, a series of holes are made to decongest the premises and to accentuate the rhythm towards the interior, looking for a sensation of natural zenithal lighting. Most of the walls have auxiliary work bars, lined with white/blue bevel tile and white tile; the different combinatory motifs end up generating abstract murals that are distributed throughout the establishment, and at the same time they evoke Andalusian arabesques. Finally, a continuous self-levelling pavement is related to the walls, giving a sense of abstraction to the whole.

物件：兩張輔助桌子，摺疊屏風，吧檯和桌子。每一種元素的奇異性賦予酒吧每個部分不同的性質，為尋找不同風格座位的顧客創造不同的氛圍。高凳子是專門設計出來的，把天花板的軟木塞和其他部分起來。最後，設計選擇了衛生間裡的免洗臉盆，這與院子裡的綠色形成了鮮明的對比。作為一個整體，這個設計裡的一系列元素彷彿來自一艘大型大理石漁船的殘骸。
Objects: two auxiliary tables, the folding screen, the bar-counter and the table. Each element, with its singularities, gives a different nature to each part of the bar, generating diverse atmospheres for customers who look for alternative ways of locating themselves. Tall stools are designed, and they relate the cork of the false ceiling to the rest of the establishment. Lastly, we opted for an exempt washbasin in the toilet hall, which contrasts with the green in the patio. As a whole, a series of elements that are part of the remains of the fictitious shipwreck of a large marble fishing boat.
