An old construction on the premises of the agricultural cooperative of Flix – a municipality in Ribera de Ebro, a comarca of the province of Tarragona – has been turned into a cultural center. Counting a built area of 524 square meters, the new space highlights the heritage building, whose rectangular main hall, a high uninterrupted space, has been fitted out to accommodate a variety of events.
The most important operations carried out involved the foundation and the stability of the ground, as well as the structural consolidation and the comfort of the interiors. The nave maintains its original typological structure and industrial look, besides elements like roof trusses, a chute, and storage cisterns. The added ceramic improves the enclosure’s acoustic performance, increases its thermal insulation, and unifies everything visually. A double-skin system installed on the vertical surfaces makes it possible to incorporate and conceal services.
