This project arises from the interest in interior design in the recovery of historic buildings that are in disuse and generally in precarious conditions, and develops the proposal for the refurbishment of the Building of the Compañía Granadina de Industria y Comercio.

The building, designed by Fernando Wilhelmi Manzano in 1934, is considered a reference of Modern Movement architecture in the city of Granada and is listed as a building belonging to the Andalusian Historical Heritage. Therefore, in order to approach the project in an appropriate manner, the necessary research was carried out to find out about those aspects that help to understand the conformation of the building, the concepts on the basis of which it was designed and its operation. 

This research, carried out extensively starting from the building itself to the origins of the concepts of the Modern Movement, results in the analysis of the use of the grid as an element that organises the structure of the architectural complex and from which the spaces are generated.

The design proposal develops the project for the refurbishment of the building by applying the conceptualisation of the grid as the basis of the building’s identity, giving value to those elements that give it its character, without prejudice to the conditions of functionality currently required, and whose final objective is the profitability of the heritage by the owner.
