Batlleiroig is an architecture firm, located in Barcelona, founded in 1981 by Enric Batlle and Joan Roig. We are a multidisciplinary team, combining the practice of Planning, Landscape and Architecture.
.
We understand architecture as a continuous process where diverse creativities are superimposed with different techniques attempting to achieve maximum efficiency in the results. Innovation is a value and essential criteria at Batlleiroig, both in the singular and efficient strategy it implements in work processes as in the conception, development and execution of projects.

“Climate emergency is currently our main transversality, that which must guide all our actions. We believe that we shall evolve towards a more solid stance in each of the solutions we apply. We must innovate even more to accomplish everything we do now in a different manner. We cannot reduce spending without changing any of the systems we currently apply; we must change our ways to reduce drastically.” – Enric Batlle

Fruit of the agricultural power of Sant Fruitós during the second half of the nineteenth century, in the early 1950s, the Municipal Agrarian Chamber built the shed to protect the Beating Machine, located at that time in the outskirts of the urban core.

This project has two main objectives: one of connectivity, achieving the continuity of this global green ring recognizing the main visuals about the city and Montserrat mountain, and generating a sequence of areas of stay; and a second of landscape and biodiversity recovery, establishing the necessary elements to generate a new dynamic in the place that progressively improves its environmental conditions through the profit of water.
Urban planning for Sant Cugat del Vallès Central Park focuses on two main themes: a central strip which contains the green zone and protects the stream and the road’s adjustment and construction considering the place’s morphology. Hence, the park’s design takes into account the small valley’s topography on which it stands, its agricultural character and the strong social pressure that its future urban immersion entails.
Igualada Central Park will be the largest free space in the city and will give continuity to the Green Belt, linking the urban area with the natural surroundings of the stream. This project is an interesting example of how by concentrating interventions at strategic points and thinking about a sustainable construction and maintenance system, a space without identity has been transformed into a new multipurpose space at the service of citizens.
