This academic work aimed to analyze an existing architectural project, with the goal of recreating in a 3D model the constructive details of various architectural elements.
The chosen case study is the residence that emerged from the rehabilitation of the Tort Can Planell industrial building in Sabadell, Barcelona, designed by architects Cruz y Ortiz.
The former Planell factory, built in the early 19th century, is located at the corner of Turull and Riego streets. The project’s objective was to preserve the existing building while using its architectural language as inspiration for the new structures. Faced with a dual program—restoring an industrial building and constructing a new residential one—the architects seamlessly integrated the new with the old, creating a confident and cohesive design.
The materials used for this project are similar to those of the original industrial structure: ceramics, lime plaster, and wood carpentry, ensuring a unified and harmonious aesthetic throughout.
