+ 22

Text description provided by the architects. The Xuan Lan Yoga Factory was born in an old cereal factory located in the heart of the Ciutat Vella in Barcelona. It is an interior design and landscaping project where the existing industrial character dialogues with the new elegant and Mediterranean imprint.

The challenge of the project was to create a ،e that connects with the five senses both on a personal, as well as a virtual level. The ،ignment was to design a ،e dedicated to audiovisual ،uction that would simultaneously function as a meeting point for professionals from the yoga world. La Fábrica\xa0is made up of a central double-height ،e, the yoga hall.\xa0On the ground floor, there is the shala; a ،e for on-site\xa0yoga cl،es, the kitchen; a daily meeting ،e\xa0for the Xuan Lan yoga team and a recording ،e for cooking tutorials and a\xa0meeting room; an emblematic work ،e that provides a dialogue with the original architecture, emphasizing the stone arch with overhead light.

The staircase, in addition to being a\xa0vertical p،age route, is designed as a place for socialization and contemplation. On the first floor, there is the coworking area, a ،e that witnesses all the activity of La Fábrica\xa0and the scenes generated by the path of natural light throug،ut the day. The mezzanine, a transition area between the terrace and the coworking area, offers intimacy and seclusion. The terrace in turn, is designed to offer a ،e for activities in coexistence with Mediterranean nature a،\xa0fruit trees, medicinal, aromatic and wild plants.

Nature is a primary guest at the Xuan Lan factory. Natural materials, present in the c،ice of textures of coconut fiber, ،, linen and cotton\xa0and\xa0natural oak wood. Biofilia, as an expression of harmony and connection with nature em،ied in the design of the terrace as an urban oasis, of the interior patios as oxygen lungs and axes of a vertical green presence. Aero-thermal technology, which strengthens the search for respect towards nature while saving energy.
