Project on Carrer de na Ferrilla in Inca Wins 2025 FAD Opinion Award

The winning proposal transforms a disused inner courtyard into a new high-quality open public space in the Sant Francesc neighbourhood, located in Inca’s historic centre. Promoted by the City Council, the intervention has resulted in the creation of a new square, which will officially be named Plaça de na Goig, in tribute to a Jewish female doctor who was part of the town’s community in the 14th century.

The project stands out for its urban sensitivity, its intention to revitalise the neighbourhood fabric, and the creation of a naturalised environment that promotes coexistence and accessibility. It was designed by architects Tomeu Ramis Frontera and Aixa del Rey García from FLEXO Arquitectura, with technical contributions by Lluís Ortadó and Xisco Alemany, acting as executive director on behalf of the City Council. Engineering firms AIA and Other Structures also collaborated, and the construction was carried out by the local Inca-based company Paesma.

With this recognition, Inca reaffirms its position as a leading city in the recovery of urban spaces through a sustainable, participatory, and forward-looking approach.
