Owner approach of sustainability
The promoter of the building is the Barcelona City Council. Bimsa is the municipal company in charge of the management and supervision of the projects. The terms of the tender and the specifications laid down the need to introduce sustainable and energy efficiency parameters, aiming to achieve almost null consumption buildings nZEB.
Architectural description
Vil·la Urània is a small residence of the late nineteenth century that was home to the renowned astronomer Josep Comas i Solà, in the district of Sarrià-Sant Gervasi in Barcelona. The re-densification of the neighborhood left the building and the small surrounding garden encased between two large medianeras. The new complex of equipment assumes the challenge of giving a new life to the existing building and gardens by incorporating it into a new building of low environmental impact and reduced energy consumption. The extension is conceived as a tall and narrow building, oriented to South-east with a large gallery, a semi-detached greenhouse, which passively air-conditions the meeting areas and informal activities as well as the circulation of the building. This intermediate space functions as a winter greenhouse and as a shade in summer, and acts as a thermal mattress by separating the heated areas from the outside, reducing the energy demand of the building. The facade adapts automatically to outdoor conditions. Indoor temperature sensors act on the glass facade, opening it completely when necessary. Outside probes measure solar radiation by acting on the folding shutters in summer. The inner plantation formed by different species provides a pleasant sensation of freshness in summer, while in winter reduces its volume to allow to capture the solar radiation. The building envelope has been designed to achieve low thermal transmittance, minimize thermal bridges and a high level of tightness.

Easy maintenance, no fans or filters. They are "exposed", facilitating access to controls and drives
Urban environment
The building is located in a very consolidated area of the city center of Barcelona with different options of public transport. Vil·la Urània was surrounded by large dividing walls of the adjoining buildings. The high and narrow building was designed to avoid the demolition of the preexisting vil·la and with its little occupation to liberate an interior garden.
