Text description provided by the architects. The proposed implementation of the Corporate Headquarters of Doctors Without Borders completed in 2019 in Barcelona transforms an existing building located in 22@ promoting functional, biophilic spaces designed for people. The existing building was an industrial building with a ground floor, four standard floors and a rooftop that had undergone different transformations throughout its useful life.

The building occupies almost the entire surface of the plot, generating very deep spaces with little natural lighting and ventilation, while the rooftop was used exclusively for installations. The inclusion of a green and staggered courtyard was proposed, improving the lighting and ventilation conditions of the interior spaces. The staggered section optimizes the entry of light on all floors and creates terraces that extend the working areas with new outdoor meeting and gathering spaces. A new staircase is also incorporated in the courtyard, reinforcing the connection between the plants and promoting healthy habits. Vegetation ends up being the protagonist of most of the outdoor spaces, promoting biodiversity and generating biophilic spaces.
