MAS DE LA COIXA RESTORATION

“Mas de la Coixa” is an old field house placed in an exceptional environment in front of the river Ebro. Its refurbishment makes possible to  accommodate a youth hostel and an information and promotion office for tourist activities.

The intervention keeps the original shape, taking full advantage of the existing holes and volumes. The memory of a building that has been built in several periods in time and has always kept its character and dominant appearance, remains.

The building surroundings have been improved also; gardened slopes for the existing level changes and paving with coarse sand the arrival platform enhances the terraced areas facing the cultivation land on the west façade.
