Stroll along the Rost

2nd Prize in the competition for the urbanization of the Rost neighborhood

With Gabriela Baca Soto

Alella, 2023

In a historic and semi-pedestrian neighbourhood of the municipality of Alella, situated on a hillside, a material continuity with the urban image and materiality of the centre is proposed, enhancing and beautifying the domestic and traditional character of the area. One of the competition's requirements was a tight construction budget, which is addressed by differentiating the pavement according to the type of use: in streets with traffic, strips of granite cobblestones are laid following the path of the installations to facilitate their renewal while dignifying the access to the homes. The interior is filled with exposed aggregate concrete for its low cost and durability, while in strictly pedestrian streets, bricks laid on edge are used, reflecting the character of the existing stairs. With these elements, along with the inclusion of native vegetation and permeable spaces, a new landscape identity is created that enhances the heritage value and improves environmental conditions, the water cycle, biodiversity, and helps mitigate the effects of climate change.
