In 2001, BAU won the design competition for the transformation of this industrial enclave into a central district in Vilanova i la Geltrù. The project responds to the existing context, incorporates the implementation of new urban functions, revitalizes the surrounding residential sectors, and maximizes the city center as a bridge between traditional Vilanova and the new maritime front, without wanting to lose the enclave's distinctive character.
For the execution of the first phase of the Urban Design, the previous competitors (D. Chipperfield, R. Sanabria, Martorell Bohigas Makay, and BAU) were invited to design a building each. BAU was responsible for quality supervision.
