Ca Xapes

Valls City Council

Ca Xapes, the senior citizens’ centre in Valls, is a historic building with an important role in the city’s social life. Its renovation needed to accommodate new activities and ways of gathering without losing the character that makes it recognisable.

The challenge was to update the spaces, making them more comfortable and versatile while giving the building a renewed identity and respecting its original architecture.

Warm materials, contemporary furniture and carefully planned lighting create welcoming, functional interiors. New features sit comfortably alongside existing ones, establishing a dialogue between the building’s past and its present uses.

The result is a renewed community facility, ready to host a range of activities and, above all, to remain a place where people meet.
