Renovation Town Hall in Nanclares
1990/1992

The City Hall building of Iruña de Oca, located in Nanclares, was poorly adapted to current administrative use.
We looked to add light to the interior and increase building surface by adding another storey.
To do this, the building was completely emptied, preserving only the perimetrical stone masonry walls, its interior image.
The gabled roof was raised, separating it from the façades, using the floor beneath for offices.
This separation of the roof and façades also generates a continuous window that provides natural light along with a central skylight that tops the roof.
To resolve accessibility issues, an outer tower containing a lift was designed.
The upper levels are laid out around a central stairway that is suspended by a metal structure.
