Last week, the execution works at Manifestación Street and Lanuza Square, in the vicinity of Zaragoza’s Central Market, have started.
The project, designed by Ingennus Urban Consulting, focuses on the restoration of this strongly damaged building, classified as listed due to its location in the surroundings of the Central Market, which is considered a Site of Cultural Interest (SCI).
Our company has been working in this protected area since we were awarded the Central Market Master Plan in collaboration with Baika. Both projects emphasize the improvement and revitalization of this highly touristic area, which plays a key role in the urban development of the nearby neighborhoods.
On the one hand, this restoration aims to preserve not only the environmental protection of the building but also as many structural elements as possible. That is why both façades have been preserved, emphasizing the façade restoration on Lanuza Square, because of its level of degradation and its strategic location close to the market.
On the other hand, the railings are to be cleaned, repaired and painted, specially the forged ones, since they are in good conditions and they constitute one of the most elaborated and emblematic elements of the ensemble.
Finally, it is necessary to preserve the location of the ladders inside the building as well as the current number of eight apartments, by renovating them and improving their habitability, distribution and accessibility.
