Transformation of the Ground Floor of the Barcelona Stock Exchange Building

Project description:

At ICA-GRUPO, we have had the opportunity to transform several of the floors of the emblematic building of the Barcelona Stock Exchange. The intervention carried out on the ground floor has been the most significant and the one that has added the most value to the whole.

Challenges:

  • Transforming the area formerly used for investors' parquet flooring into a multi-purpose space and equipping it with the latest audiovisual technology.
  • Improve the acoustic comfort of the space and adapt it to the new functional requirements.
  • Facilitate the organisation of corporate events and access control for employees and guests.

Solutions:

  • We developed a meticulous interior design project, respecting and enhancing the most important and original aspects of the building.
  • We selected cladding that would combine aesthetics, acoustic functionality and sustainability.
  • In addition, by installing glazed railings around the perimeter of the central atrium and the complete renovation of the upper skylight, we achieved a completely updated vision and conception of the original space.
  • Installation of centralised access control system

Conclusion:

The refurbishment of the ground floor of the Barcelona Stock Exchange building by ICA-Grupo represents an important step forward for the perfect balance between respecting the building's history and adapting to modernity. This project highlights our ability to transform spaces with an innovative approach to design and functionality, ensuring that each element contributes to the unique character of the building. At ICA-Grupo, we are committed to projects that not only meet the expectations of our clients, they also leave a lasting mark on the city's architectural heritage.

Major rehabilitation and change of use

Success story: major refurbishment and change of use in Barcelona

At ICA-Grupo, we are proud to present a project which illustrates our commitment to excellence in engineering and architecture in Barcelona. In collaboration with our client Condis, we carried out the major refurbishment and change of use of a multiplex cinema in the central area of Maragall, Barcelona.

The challenge of transformation:

The main challenge we faced in this commission was the transformation of a multiplex cinema into a new commercial establishment on the ground floor, with a linked car park in the basement. The premises were located underneath an 8-storey residential building, which required a precise structural intervention at all stages of the project..

Precision in structural intervention:

The realisation of this project involved a comprehensive interior gutting and demolition of the former cinemas, with a focus on minimising vibration and disturbance to the occupants of the upper floors. We prioritised manual over mechanical methods to achieve this.

The construction of new internal floors and foundations was carried out with micro-piling, guaranteeing a solid and safe base. In addition, structural shoring was carried out on one of the main walls of the building, which represented a key moment in the construction process.

Successful outcome:

The project was successfully completed, completely transforming the space of the former cinemas into a modern commercial establishment with underground car park, adding significant value to the surroundings of Maragall, Barcelona.

Comprehensive renovation of historic building with heritage protection

At ICA-Grupo, we are proud to present a comprehensive refurbishment project that highlights our commitment to excellence in engineering and architecture throughout Spain. We collaborated with Condis Supermercados in the transformation of the Can Ribot warehouse, located in Vilassar de Dalt, into a commercial establishment of great historical and heritage value.

A heritage challenge:

Our client's assignment consisted of carrying out the complete refurbishment of the Can Ribot warehouse, a former textile factory, located in Vilassar de Dalt. This building was included in the city's Special Plan for the Protection of Architectural Heritage. It was in a precarious state of conservation, with multiple constructive and structural pathologies due to decades of abandonment.

Rehabilitation and restoration:

Our team of experts met this challenge with determination. Structural reinforcements were carried out on the original roof and a complete rehabilitation of the façades and roof. The restoration was meticulous, preserving the historic essence of the building.

Comprehensive redevelopment:

In addition, due to the alignment of the road, a complete redevelopment of the estate's surroundings was carried out, maintaining part of the landscaped area. This transformation not only respected the heritage protection but also improved the accessibility and attractiveness of the outdoor space.

Results:

The Can Ribot refurbishment project was successfully completed, converting the former textile factory into a unique commercial establishment. This comprehensive refurbishment not only preserved the architectural heritage but also revitalised a historic corner of Vilassar de Dalt.

Success story: extension and refurbishment of a refrigerated industrial building in Barcelona

We present a relevant success story that shows our experience in engineering and architecture in Barcelona. In collaboration with a key client, we carried out the extension and refurbishment of a refrigerated industrial building in Mercabarna.

The technical challenge:

This project was a technical challenge from the outset, since theexisting warehouse could not stop its operation, because of its key role in the developer's logistics. This meant that both the architectural design and site management had to be conceived in phases to ensure continuous operation.

Expansion and renovation in phases:

First, the construction of the extended part, which covered approximately 2,500.00 m², was carried out. A deep foundation (piling) and a prefabricated structure were implemented to minimise construction times. The façade cladding was carefully selected to integrate perfectly with the existing part, creating a unified image for the entire complex.

Once construction of the extension has been completed, a complex phasing plan was designed to connect the new logistics area with the existing hall. This process was carried out efficiently and accurately, ensuring a smooth transition.

The successful outcome:

We achieved our customer's goal of having a refrigerated area of more than 5,000.00 m² in record time. This expansion and renovation not only optimised the storage capacity, but also improved the efficiency of the logistics operation.

Fitting out of industrial building for fish distribution warehouse

We are pleased to share an interesting success story from refurbishment of a logistics warehouse whose function is to distribute fish from Mercabarna.

Project description:

Our mission was to transform an industrial building into a logistics centre for fish storage. The building, located at c/ Transversal 2, Naus 206 i 207 in Mercabarna, offered an ideal space for the logistics operation. The total built-up area of the project was 2,520 m²..

Building structure:

The building consisted of a ground floor and a mezzanine floor. On the ground floor, we designed a main cold store, which plays a crucial role in the reception, refrigerated storage and efficient distribution of the products. In addition, a smaller cold store for selected products, a washing area and a battery room were implemented to ensure a constant flow of energy.

On the mezzanine floor, there is a functional space which includes offices, a meeting room, changing rooms and the technical area of the engine room. This area was designed with employee comfort and efficient operations management in mind.

The success of the project:

The collaboration between ICA-Group and our client resulted in the successful transformation of an industrial building into a highly functional logistics centre for fish storage. The refurbishment and efficient planning of the facility allowed for a smooth logistics operation and optimal handling of perishable goods.
