Architecture studio La Errería was commissioned to design a new public space in Parc de les Catalinetes in the northern end of the city of Vinaròs, belonging to the Spanish province of Castellón. The project aims to improve and redevelop the area with a new infrastructure to house buses, which at the same time would be comfortable and friendly for the neighbors.
The project is conceived as a new lung for the neighborhood where neighbors and visitors have a space to interact linked to the park, an area full of vegetation where they can enjoy pleasant views of the Mediterranean Sea, near the Cervol River.

The new square and bus stop in Vinaròs designed by the La Errería architecture studio is built from the ideal in favor of integration and environmental sustainability. This is shown in the use of recycled materials and in the construction system that forms the project, created completely dry, and easy to assemble and dismantle.
By minimizing the waste that may be generated during its assembly, the project does not lose its main program of creating a new permeable, flexible, open, and complementary urban space, where heavy vehicles and pedestrians are able to use the space in harmony.

Description of project by La Errería
New urban space
This new space for the city aims to improve and develop the Parc de les Catalinetes area, on the north side of the city of Vinaròs, creating a more comfortable and friendly area for its neighbors. It is not, therefore, a simple bus stop.
Here we project a new “lung” for the neighborhood. A space for people interaction, a friendly island linked to the park, providing citizens with new equipment.

Assembly system
One of the main characteristics of this project is its assembly system, a completely “dry system”, through steel elements that are screwed and anchored to the different wooden and ceramic structural elements.
This not only allows the minimum footprint to be created on the site, but it is completely reproducible and repeatable in series, allowing us to continue expanding in the adjacent park, or dismantling it if in the future it is decided to move it to another area of the city.

Integration. Environmental Sustainability
This project is based on the idea that this type of infrastructure not only makes sense from its relationship and integration with the environment but also follows environmental and sustainability criteria.
Thus, we are committed to the non-improper use of ceramic material, minimizing the cost of parts, optimizing their use and working with recycled materials, surpluses, etc. Reducing as much as possible the waste that may be generated during assembly.

Functionality (program of urban uses)
The program of this new urban space is permeable, flexible, open, and complementary, and can be used in various ways.
Pedestrian areas have priority over road space, creating a large pedestrian, garden, and rest island that articulates this urban axis of Vinaròs, in such a way that people can walk, wait for the bus, or simply go to the Parc de Les Catalinetes. In addition, the space is provided with a small locker and an adapted toilet.

Carlos Sánchez García, Luis Navarro Jover. La Errería Architecture Office
La Errería Architecture Office is an architecture studio founded by Carlos Sánchez García & Luis Navarro Jover (Alicante, 1983) in 2012, besieged by the serious crisis that was hitting the global economy.
Far from the dynamics of sprawling growth of the time that it perceived them to be and that only attended to interests outside of architecture, the office opted, out of reaction or necessity, for the small commission, which believed in the needs of people and places. .
The works they present have in common a certain degree of freedom, being able to guarantee the client greater conceptual intensity, greater constructive research and, why not, greater formal coherence, which, without a doubt, contributes to establishing a richer relationship. with the inhabitants and their environment.
Faced with positions that focus on size, standardization or immediacy, they remain convinced that new strategies are necessary that bring architecture closer to the place from new perspectives that have to do with sustainability, proximity and deep and effective reflection.
