通过Roc Cube，我们达到了一个周期的终点，在巴塞罗那的哥特式街区的一栋建筑上，对三个非常相似但不同的公寓进行改造。
我们最近被告知，在经济危机时期，作为建筑师，我们必须寻找一个公式来获得具有可扩展性的产品，以优化我们的资源。 我们知道，具有可扩展性的产品是在一个项目与另一个项目之间重复有效的解决方案，这在翻修行业中是一个困难的方法。

With Roc Cube we reached the end of a cycle, the renovation of three, very similar, but different apartments on a single building in Barcelona’s gothic quarter.
We were recently advised that in times of economic crisis, as architects, we had to look for a formula to obtain products with scalability to optimize our resources. We understood that a product with scalability was the repetition of valid solutions from one project to the other, a difficult approach within the refurbishment industry.

在寻找共同点的过程中，有机会修复Roc Cubearrived–另一块璞玉，就在我们之前做了两个干预项目的同一建筑上。大鹏之家和双子楼。
我们接触这个项目时，认为我们可以应用与双子楼相同的参数，因为它是一个在尺寸、方向和预设要求方面非常相似的公寓。 这意味着将白天的空间朝向街道，卧室朝向内部庭院，并将厨房和浴室以潮湿带的形式靠在中间的墙上。

In the midst of that search for a common denominator the opportunity to rehabilitate Roc Cubearrived- another diamond in the rough on the very same building where we had done two previous interventions: Casa Roc and Twin House.
We approached the project thinking that we could apply the same parameters as in Twin House due to the fact that it was a very similar apartment in terms of dimensions, orientation and pre-set requirements. This meant placing the daytime space towards the street, the bedroom towards the interior courtyard, and placing the kitchen and bathroom against the median wall in the form of a humid strip.

然而，看似显而易见的事情却不可能实现，因为这个公寓的卫生排水管与双子楼的排水管位置不同，所以我们不得不寻找一个新的解决方案来放置浴室。
我们认为再次将洗脸盆放在卧室是正确的，这样可以更好地利用自然光，扩大开放空间的感觉。 这一次，我们用一堵低矮的墙和悬空的铁方块将它与房间的其他部分隔开，以便从两边进行存储。 这些立方体也被用来创造夜台和额外的存储空间，用于存放厨房里的食谱和用具。

What seemed obvious, however, was not possible due to the fact that the sanitary drainpipe changed its position on this apartment from the one in Twin House, so we had to look for a new solution for placing the bathroom.
We thought it correct to once again incorporate the washbasin in the bedroom to make a better use of natural light and to enlarge the sensation of open space. This time we separated it from the rest of the room with a low wall and suspended iron cubes that allow storage from both sides. These same cubes were also used to create night tables and extra storage space for recipe books and utensils in the kitchen.

淋浴房和水柜有独立的入口，但可以使用一个单一的滑动门来关闭，这是首次使用的解决方案，捐赠给Casa Roc。 水柜也可以从主入口处通过第二道门进入，这让客人可以选择使用这个空间而不必进入卧室。 这样，一个空间和另一个空间之间就有了界限，而不会产生视觉障碍。

The shower and water closet have independent entries, but can be closed using a single sliding door, a solution first use don Casa Roc. The water closet can also be accessed from the main entry through a second door, which gives the option of guests using this space without having to enter the bedroom. This way, boundaries were set between one space and the other without creating a visual barrier.

该建筑的结构和闭合处非常不规则，因此我们引入了线状元素，以对抗这些不规则，并在空间内设置秩序。 在这些元素中，有一个整合了照明（从Twin House借来的）并将自己与悬挂的立方体和滑动门的导轨的支撑连接起来的封闭吊架。 木头被用来在路面上设置限制，调节以前存在的隔墙的痕迹。 这也被综合到了客厅的灯上。

The building’s structure and closings are very irregular, so we introduced lineal elements that counterpoint these irregularities and set order within the space. Amongst these elements are a close hanger that integrates lighting (borrowed from Twin House) and connects itself with the support of the suspended cubes and the sliding door’s guide. Wood was used to set limits on the pavement which regulates the traces of the previously existing partition walls. This was also synthetized on the living room lamp.

洛克方块是将新的想法应用于新的挑战，但保持Casa Roc和Twin House背后的精神，我们在其中寻找建筑的原始精神，并微妙地进行干预，以达到今天的舒适水平，同时与建筑的历史相协调。

Roc Cube was about applying new ideas to new challenges, but maintaining the spirit behind Casa Roc and Twin House in which we searched for the original spirit of the building and subtlely intervened to achieve today’s levels of comfort while harmonizing with the building’s history.
