Municipal Archive and History Museum in Sallent (IV – façades and sections)



Master thesis. July, 2008.

06 Sallent_A-B façades_


The main façades are simple. They are cleaned and painted, and on the base of each of them we can see the original stone wall.

The dimensions of the windows and doors are similar to most of the village ones. And most of them are the existing ones, but giving the wall surfaces a new and controlled order.


The interior levels are maintained. They only grow a few centimetres because of the reinforcing of the horizontal structure.


In the museum the volume of the C room, dedicated to the industry of the village, the existing interior of the building is emptied. This is the response to get a more secure structure but also to rediscover the main walls.



We get rid of all the unoriginal elements on the back façade. So the wall is shown as it was on its beginnings.



The top floor opens to the Riereta with a terrace protected from the north winds due to the pent roofs.
