The tender by the Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB) allocates 1.2 million euros to the rehabilitation of these century-old buildings, which are cataloged as Local Cultural Interest Assets. The reform aims to transform the complex into a modern and functional space, maintaining the house-patio typology and its heritage character.
The project, which was acquired by the City Council 10 years ago, plans to reduce the nine original houses to five social housing units. Works are expected to begin in the early second quarter of 2026.
The renovation will put an end to a historic neighborhood demand by allocating the homes to vulnerable people and those with psychomotor difficulties.
These constructions, dating from the first half of the 20th century, are one of the last vestiges of the so-called corridor urbanism. This typology became popular in L'Hospitalet during demographic expansion to house working families arriving in the city, often facing severe shortages of decent housing.
