An office building on Zorrotzaurre Island in Bilbao, now an abandoned site overgrown with weeds, offers an opportunity for urban revitalisation through a retrofitting project that joins a nursery during weekdays and a marketplace on weekends, creating a hub for synergies, social interaction, and bridging the gap between current and future residents.

The nursery design prioritises learning and sensing through physical engagement. It provides a space for children to play, learn, rest, and develop a keen interest in the world around them by regenerating the once polluted island into a vibrant green landscape and focusing on translucency and free circulation throughout the space.

The marketplace aims to promote stability and community cohesion. The space includes an allotment garden where residents actively participate in cultivation. On weekends, the place transforms into a hub with market and food stalls for leisure and enjoyment. This initiative nurtures agricultural, social, and economic growth within the community, ensuring security and encouraging residents to engage in local produce.
