Montjuic是一座位于城市巴塞罗那与大海之间的山峰，尽管地形与当地的法规并不利于该地的发展，设计师还是通过对现存结构的再利用和恢复，使得这片绿地充满生机，纳入到城市休闲网络中来。最近的此类范例就是Miramar建筑的改建项目。该建筑的历史颇为悠久，基本上可以追溯到上个世纪70年代。设计师们将稍高的地区改建为可以远眺地中海和港口的码头，码头上还有一个小酒吧，将较低的地区改建为花园，花园位于餐厅背面与山坡挡土墙之间。建筑所选用的建材也充分的体现了巴塞罗那的地方特色，例如建筑选用了轻质钢和玻璃结构，平台采用的柚木，墙壁上和广场上的板岩等。不拘一格，优雅的设计风格与当地其他现代的酒吧和餐厅类似，其他细节则是受其他现代建筑和蒙特伊克名胜--- Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona pavilion的启发而完成的。

Although municipal regulations make building on Montjuic – the mountain between the city and the sea – almost impossible, the Barcelona municipality is nonetheless keen to incorporate this green area into the city’s leisure network. The only way to do so is by re-using and revitalizing existing structures in order to give new initiatives a place. A recent example is the conversion of the Miramar building. It dates from the 1970s and is a well known point of reference in the city, visible from far away. The architects took into account the two completely different ‘faces’ of the site they had to redefine. They turned the higher panoramic level into a maritime deck with a little bar overlooking the Mediterranean and the port, while the lower area is now an intimate garden (with bamboo, of course), between the rear facade of the restaurant and the rocky ‘retaining wall’ of the hill. The ambivalence of the genius loci (‘high up on the mountain’ or ‘in the shelter of the slopes’) is reflected by the tectonics of the used materials: the light steel and glass construction of the bar and the teak wood of the platform relate to the sea and the sky while the slate stone of the walls and the square platforms in the garden breathe earthly solidity.The design connects with the styling of other modern bars and restaurants in the area: eclectic and informallyelegant. The detailing, though, was inspired by an older ‘modern’ building and another major Montjuic attraction: Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona pavilion.
