REHABILITATION OF THE CUNIT MUNICIPAL HOUSE TO A PROJECT BY ROA ARQUITECTURA

The City Council of Cunit has awarded the rehabilitation of the Municipal Casal to a project by ROA Arquitectura. After the ideas competition, the winning company was ROA Arquitectura , which conceives, develops and manages architecture and urban planning projects from sustainability, circular design and with a clear purpose of generating a net positive impact. The project will be carried out by the joint venture formed by ROA Arquitectura and Miquel Lloveras Estudio de Arquitectura.
The project, with a total budget of 1,804,385.39 euros, has as its main objective the modernization and adaptation of the Municipal Casal to turn it into an accessible, functional and sustainable space. The works will include:
- The renovation of the façade that will open the facility to the town with the renovated porch and with the creation of a new ceramic and plant skin that will enhance the value of Plaça de Catalunya.
- The relocation of the theatre to the basement will enhance the architectural qualities of the space and it will be equipped with retractable bleachers to provide versatility of functions and uses. This change will allow natural lighting and ventilation to be gained on all floors and the multipurpose room will be relocated to the second floor with views of the church of San Cristóbal.
- The creation of a passive system, without consumption, to air condition a large part of the equipment and the incorporation of systems with renewable energy sources.
- The reuse of almost 100% of the existing material as raw material for the new design, contributing to the decarbonisation of the building and reducing its ecological footprint.
Cunit has a grant from the European Next Generation funds. These are part of the second phase of the Programme to Promote the Rehabilitation of Public Buildings for Local Entities (PIREP II). The subsidies aim to renovate the stock of locally owned public buildings, reduce the consumption of non-renewable primary energy by 30% and reuse 70% of non-hazardous waste.
The mayor Dolors Carreras has highlighted the importance of this project: “The rehabilitation of the Municipal Casal is a fundamental step to ensure that this space continues to be a meeting point and reference for the citizens of Cunit. This project will not only improve the conditions of the building, but will also contribute to strengthening social and cultural life with the creation of the new Municipal Theater of Cunit.”
