| Fuencarral´s Cementery closeness conditions N-W side of the building, where apartments open views to the backyard garden, designing studios and “duplex” typologies accessible from exterior galleries, while penthouse attics enjoy astonishing views over Monte del Pardo and the Madrid´s “sierra”. The rest of the flats open main views both to the surrounding streets and garden. | ||
| Construction order and rationality suggests stepped brick facades, due to the steepness of street, opening huge windows, protected from sun with slats shades, in studios and “duplex”, and standard windows opened in solid brick walls for the main block image, explaining the complexity and typological diversity of the building. The set-back of attics façade changes materiality, unifies building volume from an urban scale view. | ||
| Randomized ornamental concret designed blocks emerging from brick facades, admired tribute to Amsterdam´s School architectural style. | ||
| Stair-lifts units shown as isolated wooden towers in the garden back-yard o braking block corners, introducing natural light and ventilation inside. Certain openings in the massive brick facade allow suggested views of the garden from the street. | ||
| We remember Oscar Tusquet´s … “Good architecture is only possible with a capable architect and an intelligent client”. | ||
