Barcelona Design Hub (DHub)

The foundation provides offers free care and support to cancer patients and their families. The design blends seamlessly into its surroundings, with communal areas and a quiet, fan-shaped ground floor with large windows overlooking the garden. This partnership demonstrates a commitment to societal betterment through wellbeing and innovation, which is reflected in the careful selection of Roca products, including Sofia washbasins paired with Lanta faucets and Luna Mirrors, and Meridian WCs complemented by PL6 Dual flush plates, as well as fittings from the Access and Victoria Pro collections chosen for their ergonomic qualities. All products are in harmony with the overall aesthetic of the centre, combining soothing neutrals with vibrant accents to promote relaxation and optimism.

Designed by Ma Yansong's MAD Architects, The Cloudscape is a smooth, fair-faced concrete structure with portholes and wraparound windows resembling a marine creature or ancient cave. The collaboration between MAD Architects and Roca blends visionary design with innovative craftsmanship, ensuring functional and attractive service facilities. Half of the library's space is dedicated to public amenities, including selected Roca’s sleek Round basin from The Gap collection, touchless Loft faucets, and energy-efficient Euret urinals. These products complement the library's design and provide an eco-friendly, immersive experience for all visitors.

Key to this initiative is the award-winning W+W, an ingenious combination of washbasin and toilet that reduces water consumption by up to 25%. Incorporated into the design is the Single Pro faucet, which features an advanced cartridge that minimises water consumption and reduces CO2 emissions, exemplifying Roca's integration of technology and environmental responsibility. Roca's Proton urinals add to the efficiency with their minimalist design and a touchless flushing system that uses just 0.5 litres per flush. Combined with The Gap wall-hung toilets and PL1 dual flush plates, Roca delivers a seamless blend of functionality and style for public spaces. The Gap Round over countertop basins further enhance the overall aesthetic of the museum’s toilets. Extending its sustainability beyond the toilets, the museum also engages visitors with interactive exhibits that promote environmental awareness and encourage water-saving habits.

Customisable modular designs cater for different visitor profiles, and through the use of organic shapes and nature-inspired elements, these public toilets offer visitors an environment that is both calming and healing. The 'organic clinic' design theme combines the warmth and character of natural materials like stone, wood, and textured fibres with the cleanliness and durability required for public spaces. Roca’s Inspira collection, including the round basin and wall-hung WC, fits perfectly into this design, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The men's toilets feature Chic urinals combined with Sentronic electronic urinal flushing systems for enhanced hygiene and convenience, while the disabled toilets prioritise accessibility and comfort, with Access grab bars in a soothing white finish, an electronic flush plate in a sophisticated black glass finish, and a tilting mirror designed to accommodate various heights and needs. These carefully selected Roca products ensure that every visitor can enjoy a moment of comfort and wellbeing in a well- designed and functional space.
