The building:
Is a classic eight-story construction from the Eixample District with elevator.

Location:
Fort Pienc is a neighborhood in the Northern limits of the Eixample district of Barcelona. Its name stems from a former military fortification which existed there until the 19th century. Even though the district had good prospects for growth due to the displacement, proposed by Ildefons Cerda architect and designer of the Eixample project, of the centrality of the city to the Plaça de les Glories area for many years the only main attractions of this neighborhood were the Arc de Triomf at the end of Passeig de Sant Joan, the Plaza de Toros Monumental in the Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes and Marina Street and the historic building of the old electric company (General Catalana de Electricidad). Since the Olimpics of 1992 many important changes and improvements has suffered the area starting with the transformation of the old Estació del Nord (Train Station) into a sports complex and bus terminal and the old abandoned railway areas into the very special Parc de la Estacio del Nord and the new location of the research space and custody of the General Archive of the Aragon Crown (Arxiu de la Corona d'Aragó). Other important cultural buildings in the area are the new Music Complex L'Auditori designed by Spanish architect Rafael Moneo and the new Catalan National Theater (TNC) designed by Catalan architect Ricard Bofill. Still in project is the Complex de Cinemes-Plaça de les Arts, by architect Zaha Hadid, and the transformation of the Plaça de Les Glories and its immediate area, planned to become a park with a multitude of services including a public library, still in consideration a major underground train station (served by RENFE and Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya), a public clinic, a sports centre, the museum of design Disseny Hub Barcelona designed by architect Oriol Bohigas and the new location of the Mercat dels Encants, largest and best known flea market.
The area is well served by Metro lines L1 (Red line) and L2 (Purple line), the new Tram line that connects with the beaches and various bus lines.
