Project description

It is a modernist building from 1896, designed by the famous Catalan architect,IgnasiOms, born in Manresa. The Tower appears isolated in the middle of the landscape and it is considered a historical reference with a great architectural and social interest. It is a place that is worth a visit as a natural beauty spot and a place of interest due to its heritage.It has a square floor plan, with north-south orientation, and consists of ground floor, first floor, semi-basement and a small attic under the roof.

In a first phase, the four facades and the roof have been rehabilitated, as well as the structure of the building, in order to stop its advanced state of degradation.

In the second phase, the energy rehabilitation of the Tower is carried out by interior isolation and installation renovations, as well as the recovery of the construction of the vats located in the northeast corner of the Tower’s premises.

It is a small, rectangular protected building with approximate dimensions of 12.15 meters (length) by 7.15 meters (width), consisting of a ground floor and a first floor, and with four vats inside. The volume of the vats is recovered and consolidated according to the original volume, adapting it to be visitable and accessible to the public.
