Like just another house in the old quarter of Felanitx, a locality in the southeast of the island of Majorca, stands this construction that houses the municipal archives, a work of the Majorcan firm Aulets Arquitectes, led by Francisco Cifuentes, Sebastià Martorell, Tomeu Riutord, and Maria Razumova. Built on a budget of 250,000 euros, the 196-square-meter construction contains two large halls where concrete, brick, wood, iron, and limestone all play a part. At ground level is a shady vaulted space for books and a reading room. Upstairs, under a wooden roof, filtered light illuminates documents without damaging them.
