Occupational Centre Boscana

I. Description

The building for Fundación Boscana’s new occupational therapy centre is part of the residential complex that the foundation built in 1961. Throughout the years, partial renovations to the centre have been carried out, but it was not until 2013 that we were commissioned to undertake the complete refurbishment of the occupational workshop.

 

From the outset, it was suggested to prefabricate the building to reduce the execution timeframe and minimize the impact on the centre caused by construction work. This required some preliminary work to prefabricate the project, as well as preparing and planning all the services. The building is sited on a concrete slab previously prepared to accommodate the different parts of the building. The walls, which are made of light wooden lattice and have a ventilated façade, are built in sections, with the internal and external finishes already in place.
