A temporary shelter for emerging artists located in the Fabra y Coats Factory in Barcelona and inspired by monastic cells that provides a twofold cultural experience: complete for the creatives who reside there, and partial for the rest of the locals who visit their exhibitions.

Built sustainably using the rammed earth construction technique — with which the student solves the problem of air conditioning in interior spaces — the proposal focuses on minimal housing, standardization, modularity, exchange and intimacy.
