Mercat de Ferreries

The local market of Ferreries, after falling into disuse for several years, has been restored and extended to become the new Cultural Center. The main original nave of the market is preserved and its void character is recovered. Natural light becomes a main element that emphasizes the dialogue between old and new. Originally the market was giving the back to the Joan Monclús Square.

Today, the square gives access to the new Cultural Centre, which at the same time sets a background of the activities held there.

A close relation is established between the market and its extension, through the horizontal lines of composition, opposing the tall new mute façade and contrasting the white, soft and bright interior of the nave to the new dark, grooved and textured facade.
