Poland-based UGO architecture shared with us their proposal for the Barcelona 2011 Bohemian Hostel for Backpackers International Competition. More images and architect’s description after the break.
Barcelona Rock hostel is supposed to be a unique place. It is supposed to become a new symbol of Barcelona. In search for inspiration we were trying to find something common for the city’s architectural marks such as Sagrada Familia, Torre Agbar or the nearby Museum of Modern Art. We found it in Montserrat – in a mountain range near Barcelona (the highest elevation in Catalonia, you can see it from Barcelona). The stone from that mountain range was used for the buildings of the old city.
