Winning proposal in collaboration with Sergi Serrat for the construction of a sports centre promoted by the Ripoll town council.
To house the changing rooms and trainers’ rooms, we designed a long, narrow volume with a gable roof. This roof then grows in height, transitioning to a single slope to achieve a larger space containing the multi-purpose room.
The double exterior corridors allow perimeter circulation under an eave, while the semi-covered area between the changing rooms and the multi-purpose hall serves as an access point from the city to the football field.
The roof of the changing rooms relies on a modular system of timber trusses and brick walls. In the multipurpose hall, we mitigated wind loads by incorporating a system of steel tensor portal frames, reducing the sections of the columns to reduce construction costs.

Studio Profile
We are Marina Huguet & Andy Penuela, M.Arch from ETSAV, Barcelona, Spain. Now based in Barcelona, we were once a nomad office.
Work-and-travel gave us the opportunity to collaborate (up-until-today) in countries like Sweden, France, Colombia, USA, Malaysia & Indonesia.
We believe that context shapes form. Our task is to understand the specific context of each project and to work the relationships between detail, material, space & scale.
We train our eyes through photography. We love books. We collect lamps. We are constantly questioning and learning by listening.
