Avila is a project that transformed what was originally an open-plan warehouse, located in the Poble Nou neighborhood of Barcelona, into a 120 square-meter multifunctional and habitable space. The strategy of the design aimed to utilize "the minimum means to inhabit a space," while considering the inner layers, not just its surface.

Here, the jury celebrated the project's capacity to minimize the use of materials and aesthetic resources. Ceramic tiles were chosen for the flooring and to clad the furniture, lending to visual coherence.
