This residential project by dosmasuno arquitectos had to face two preliminary constraints: a surrounding area burdened by the aesthetic and cultural tradition of the Spanish row-house concept and, on the other hand, the plot’s exposure to solar radiation during the hottest months of the year.
Thus, dosmasuno arquitectos decided to search for a hideaway to this appalling landscape, offering a secluded space which features a range of atmospheres that emphasize life within the house – notwithstanding its surroundings – and, besides, for a strategy by means of which the desired climatic confort could be achieved in a passive and flexible way. These decisions resulted in an array of diversely qualified spaces that enable different life trends depending on the varying seasons’ climate.

67 Dwellings in Colmenar Viejo – 29 Apr 2012
Flying across the Madrilenian mountains, dosmasuno arquitectos chose a hill to land on. Its slope enabled a visual relationship to be established with the surroundings, the mountains and Madrid’s metropolitan area on the horizon.
The local topographic and geologic conditions are preserved and used as the main leit-motivs of the intervention. Its rocky, naturally-pitched substratum suggested hovering on top of it instead of altering its original features.

dosmasuno arquitectos considered that the project for the new Central Library of Alcalá de Henares University should not be strictly limited to a refurbishment task, in which a new program and furniture are to supersede the original ones. dosmasuno arquitectos thought it should be understood as an insertion into an existing party-wall, acquiring its shape, absorbing light and fresh air, and opening towards the sky as the only possible way out. This implies the creation of a new space within an existing heritage building which features its own identity, and which is as well respectfully introduced into a formerly built context.

Carabanchel Madrid building
A pesar de las pautas dibujadas sobre los planos, los lugares necesitan expresar su propio ser, surgir naturalmente, construirse a sí mismos. Y concretamente este lugar, alineado frente a la pausa verde, frente a la concatenación de espacios públicos que unen el antiguo Carabanchel con su bosque, a través del ensanche, por delante del solar sobre el que construimos.

Vallecas housing, Madrid, central Spain

Vallecas housing Madrid building
La ciudad representa un punto de concentración de relaciones en el territorio, sin embargo dentro de ella aparecen reductos de privacidad extrema que tienen su máximo exponente en la vivienda unifamiliar. Se propone un sistema de transición de privacidad entre la ciudad más pública, y el jardín más privado en el que tengan cabida otra serie de espacios intermedios.
