The renovation was curated by Valentina Díaz, with photographs by Mariela Apollonio. The building is categorized under cultural architecture, public buildings, and renovation. The principal architect was Oscar Escuder Sanchis. The project was featured on ArchDaily, with the description provided by the project team. The rehabilitation aimed to preserve the historical and architectural significance of the building while adapting it for contemporary use. The work highlights the importance of maintaining vernacular architectural heritage in Spain.
