Clares Sisters Convent Refurbishment

Text description provided by architect.

The convent of Poor Clares have a labyrinthine organization with multiple levels joined by stairs which hinder the development of the older sisters. 

The cells that serve as accommodations were not fit for habitation: lack of insulation, aged materials, humidity.

The public area of the monastery, where are situated the lathe, the church and the access for visitors, included a series of steps that constituted a real barrier. 

The government of Castile and Leon decided to undertake the reform of the building and outdoor space, bearing in mind the austerity of its occupants.
