| Integrate the Ends. | ||
| Fusing in contrast, hand-made traditional brick as massive facade work dealing with modern architecture functional elements, rolling-projecting aluminium blinds, precast concrete, translucent “paves” walls, wood frames sun protectors, etc., old Madrid´s construction tradition with rationalist architecture of “El Viso” neighbourhood where building is placed. | ||
| To propose a respectful relationship with the urban patter and the street, facades extends in a brick continuous wall as a physical membrane between public and private spaces. | ||
| Building´s position, in the other side, is consistent with functional and orientation requirements. We needed free space for garden and pool in the front façade and a passage in the back to solve accesses from two different streets. | ||
| Two blocks articulated an L-shape building, four flats per floor, all regarding best sunlight, views and ventilation. Four floors plus attic served by two stair shafts, connecting underground car-parks and the free ground-floor lobby, where garden and back interior-street flows as continuous open space. | ||
| Hand-made brick has being used as the main skin material of a complex façade wall, where specially designed precast concrete pieces solve joineries, corners, slab edges, rain guards, gallery protections, jambs o slats, propose an expressionist and powerful image consistent with its urban presence. | ||
