La Sedeta is located within the Gràcia district block bounded by Carrer de Sant Antoni Maria Claret, Carrer de Sicília, Carrer de Nàpols, and Carrer de la Indústria. The complex presents three exterior façades facing Sant Antoni Maria Claret, Indústria, and Sicília streets, with the principal entrance located on Carrer de Sicília. It also includes three interior façades overlooking the block courtyard bounded by Passatge Llavallol. This courtyard is divided into two areas: a public park and a school playground.
Originally constructed as a textile factory, the complex was converted in 1982 for use as a civic centre, primary and secondary school. It is composed of a linear volume following the alignments of the surrounding streets. This elongated structure is organised into different architectural typologies corresponding to its various functions.
Facing Carrer de la Indústria and the chamfered corner stands the tallest volume, rising to four storeys. Its exposed brick façades adopt an industrial aesthetic in which voids predominate over solid surfaces. The elevation is articulated through a double façade plane: the outermost expresses the structural system through segmental arches resting on broad pilasters, while the recessed inner plane fills the spaces generated by the primary structure. Within this recessed plane, the openings are arranged along vertical axes following the regular structural grid and repeating the segmental arch motif. The upper two floors are separated by projecting cornices. Access is provided from the chamfered corner through a centrally positioned opening emphasised by a semicircular arch. This section of the complex now accommodates the secondary school.
Facing Carrer de Sicília is another volume attached to the first, though lower in height, comprising three more modest storeys. Originally, this was a largely symmetrical body formed by two wings separated by a central section serving as the entrance. Its façades are composed in a manner similar to those of the taller block, differing only at the uppermost level, where the openings are divided into two smaller windows. Today, the left-hand wing has been replaced by a new building of similar volume. This intervention was carried out with considerable sensitivity, employing the same façade materials and maintaining the original proportions of the openings. The original wing houses the civic centre, while the new volume accommodates the school.
Facing Carrer de Sant Antoni Maria Claret stands the street-aligned façade of the former block that once enclosed the perimeter of the site and was demolished during the conversion project. This façade, reinforced and underpinned by exposed brick buttress walls triangular in plan, now acts as an enclosure to the interior courtyard.
The courtyard itself is defined by these architectural volumes and by a lightweight fence facing Passatge Llavallol. It is divided into two distinct zones: the north-western half, associated with the civic centre, is publicly accessible and organised as two terraces connected by an amphitheatre, while the remaining half is reserved for school use.
All roofs are pitched in double slopes and clad in traditional curved terracotta tiles, with rainwater gutters concealed behind the perimeter parapets.
Particularly noteworthy is the serrated cornice along Carrer de Sant Antoni Maria Claret, distinguished by the careful craftsmanship of its exposed brickwork.
By 1915, the factory employed more than six hundred workers. Industrial activity ceased in 1953, and between 1982 and 1985 the complex began its transformation into a civic centre and subsequently a school.
