With an intervention of this type and magnitude, we cannot evade the obligation to work creatively and intelligently with the available budget. In what range of possible intervention are we? After conducting a comparative study between interventions with similar characteristics to this one and carried out in the last decade in Spain, we obtain an average construction module of 1,747 €/m2. However, in the case of Cigarreras we have a module of 760 €/m2, if we do not include the outdoor areas, or 547 €/m2, in the case of including them -which is necessary. Whitin the cases studied, the closest could be the rehabilitation of Warehouse 16 in Matadero, Madrid, by ICA Estudio. With a module of 825 €/m2, it is proposed an intervention where the purpose is, basically, to recognize, clean, repair, fill, paint … These are precisely the type of strategies that the proposal for Cigarreras recognizes as the only possible. Thus, we use blue painting on existing surfaces to signify spaces, the addition of gold color to signify architectural elements, signage to talk about the history of the place, cleaning of non-valuable surface additions, repair, etc. as well as the adaptation through mobile, removable and domestic elements – plants, light furniture, textiles … – as strategies for the construction of a more possible cultural and creative world, more domestic, more inclusive, more sensitive, more ecological, more feminine … and, above all, unique.
