This building is a workshop located in Benissanet, Spain, on a street corner with dense pedestrian flow. The workshop is conceived as a newly constructed 625m² open-plan building adapted to the limits of its trapezoidal plot by means of a lightweight steel structure supported by perimeter pillars.




The structural framework that supports the roof incorporates a series of north-facing triangular skylights to illuminate the interior space in a natural way. The feeling of lightness of the interior space of the building contrasts with a more emphatic and contextualized exterior intended to blend with the surroundings.




Extract the main components and formal elements from the original spatial structure to prepare for internal spatial design.




This ANT map shows the basic design concept:

The integration of pet products and media equipment forms a variety of spaces. By choosing the pet stuff and media production stuff to create space for the stray dogs and cats for having both online and in-person activities. And using this idea to gain more attention from people who plan to adopt pets or donate for them.




This diagram shows the process of generating a floor plan and its functional zoning. Using the grid method, different spaces are divided based on the relationship between the original space and the city, and the method of dividing is used to connect other spaces.




This video describes the relationship between the plane and the information of pet supplies and media equipment in the first floor space. The plan shows the subdevided way of organization people’s way. Using the training equipment and other cozy furniture to create some space for the interaction of people and pets.




This video describes the facade relationship. It shows the reationship of these two floors. The lower floor is for the visitors and pets interaction, the second floor is only for pets to move around. All the designed elements are based on the triangle shape of the roof window.




The indoor perspective views record the activities that occur inside the four spaces. Respectively, training space, fasion space, playground, feeding space. The interior materials are chosen for some soft and cozy feeling, which can give the stray dogs and cats the sense of safety.
