About the project

The Agora, between the city and the individual

In ancient Greece, the agora was the square surrounded by the most important private and public buildings of the Greek polis. It was known as a place of social, commercial and political exchange, and hosted the first recorded assemblies.

ROA  has explored the concept of “agora” to organize this loft around a central space, perceived as a place of relationship, exchange, communication, habitability and good feelings. The design interprets our clients’ particular vision of democratic architecture.

The end result is a central space, the living room, around which the rest of the functional program of the house is organized. This triangular-shaped agora opens up all the views of the loft towards the chamfer of Barcelona’s Eixample of Barcelona’s new 22@ industrial district, connecting “society” with “urbanity”.
