The design of these two semi-detached houses is addressed in a non-conventional manner. From the

beginning, the two units were conceived as a single project, and although the program for both residences

is identical, the layout is asymmetrical. The nished design answers to the clients needs, as well as offers

the possibility of being transformed into a single house, envisioning a wider range of plausible scenarios in

the future.

The house is located in Los Peascales rocky area in Spanish on a slope with many outcrops and

oriented to the south. The building, however, does not relate to them, but rather turns its back to the immediate

surroundings, interacting with the distant Pardo forest and with Madrids skyline. While the design denies the

abrupt topography of the site and the immediate context, the structure delicately leans on the existing rocks

with a large horizontal plane that denes the footprint of the building.

Once this datum has been established, the house is organized in two independent units. Car parking and

other services are located underneath, and the living areas are put above in a single volume. Relating to the

footprint plane, the size, shape, and placement of this hermetic, horizontal prism provides for the rest of the

program: bedrooms, the main bathroom, study rooms, and a little toilet. In this piano nobile, where the daily

life goes on, the oor is covered with white calcareous stone. A unique bay window located 1,40 meters from

the oor trims the skyline of the landscape and uniformly illuminates the concrete ceiling.

Resting against the hillside, the hanging concrete box serves as a canopy to protect the ground oor from

the sun, while stimulating views into the horizon. The horizontal void created practically spans the whole

building, bringing natural light into the rst oor and allowing it to enter the ground oor diagonally though

the central double-height space. This as well as other double-height volumes put in relation the two rather

independent levels.

Between these segregated worlds, the entrance appears around a huge rock and through a slightly hidden

stair. Inside, objects are clustered and related to one another in multiple ways. In the ground oor, the

furniture is reduced to a single element with various functions: storage, kitchen counter, sitting area, and

entrance windbreak. In the rst oor, all the wardrobes are concentrated in one single strip that is attached to

the faade, improving the thermal behavior of the building, and therefore reducing its energy consumption.

This building hosts two dwelling units, but lacks the typical scale of a house. By abstracting traditional dwelling

elements, the visitor is mislead and his attention redirected to the specicity of the environment.

The challenge of this project was: how could we design the plan of a big

scale building that could be constructed as smaller buildings on different

time periods? By making the building process exible, the client could

divide construction into multiple stages according to the availability of funds.

The design was driven by the idea that the learning process at the

university takes place not only in the classrooms, but also in other

locations, where people can meet to discuss ideas. These places

of student exchange become active cores in particular parts of the

building to trigger the learning environment in more dynamic ways.

To dene the main section of the building, we distinguished between two clearly

differentiated levels. On the one hand, the stage of knowledge exempliedwith classrooms, labs and studios required a repetitive and divisible modules.

These were placed upstairs, away from the ground oor and the noise

coming from the campus, in an intimate relationship with a system of north-

oriented courtyards. On the other hand, the stage of relations composed

by the lobby, the meetings rooms, cafeteria and auditorium turn out to be

a whole new space inside the building where social relationships take place.

Outside, the design has an industrial appearance as a oating box made

out of zinc. Its formal austerity combined with its long facade contrasts

with the diversity of forms and colors of the rest of the buildings. Our

goal was to introduce a new scale inside the campus of Monteprincipe

in order to achieve a new personality for this prestigious university.

The modulation and geometry of the plan allowed us to divide the

construction process in two stages. If the building needs to grow, it

would be easy to add new modules without affecting the overall image.

The city of Albacete in Spain is well known for its extreme weather

conditions. Temperature ranges from -15 Celsius in winter to 40 in

the summer. The building is an addition to an existing high school on a

restricted site that lacks interesting views. The Campuss surrounding

vicinity includes several brick buildings that bear no relation to the

site. The competition brief lacked a space for student interaction.

Our proposal denes an introverted building, where light would give

character to a semi-open space. To make this possible, different

volumes that contain functional programs rotate as they change level

until they reach the third story, where the main classrooms face north

orientation. Each oor has a strikingly different layout, creating a

complex web of open and close spaces around a central courtyard.

The ground oor, divided into three work spaces, hosts heavy

machinery. The glass facades allow the workrooms to be perceived

as one, continuous space. The rst oor, the core of the school,

was designed as a cloister and contains the main circulations. This

generates a place where students can meet in between classes. The

second oor uses the same scheme of the ground oor, yet by rotating

the plan 90 degrees, the level obtains adequate light for studying.

The complex section of the building also improves temperature

conditions. The program is distributed internally around a non-

heated indoor space that regulates temperature and adapts

to changing environmental conditions throughout the year.

The plan of this building was a premise of the competition. Its circular

form was dened by the master plan of the New Campus of Justice

in Madrid, which was enforced on all buildings, including those of

Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid, Richard Rogers and Alejandro Zaera.

The challenge for us was to nd a geometric solution that allowed us to insert

the program inside a circle of small dimension. To do so, we reduced the

complex functional requirements into ve elementary geometries. With the

same versatility as in a puzzle, each of the ve pieces would solve the clients

needs. Either by themselves or by attaching to another, multiple combinations

with different surfaces adjust according to programmatic requirements.

The most repetitive piece, the prosecutors ofce, is located radially

on the perimeter where the circular geometry does not compromise

the good use of the space. The secretaries, in a closer position to

the core of the cylinder, are solved with an orthogonal geometry,

to avoid adversely affecting the efcient use of the circular shape.

Ofce buildings of this type are usually isolating and disorienting in the

inside. To avoid this, we dened double-height courtyards that penetrate

the facade in four directions in order to lter natural light into the core of the

building, even during the winter, and also open up to exterior views. The two

patios vary in height and position. As we ascend, rotating clockwise, the rst

type is found, and in the other direction, the second one. Thus, at different

times of day, light enters differently in each oor, characterizing each space in

very particular ways. These big patios bring into perspective the main views

of the campus, yet avoid direct confrontation with the neighboring buildings.

Situated between Santander and Bilbao and laying close to salt marshes with an

intrinsic ecological value, Santoas unique position on the Cantabrian coastline gives

the town excellent possibilities for becoming a nucleus of activity and growth. Yet

one of todays major urban problems is the phenomena of dispersion. To reverse this

trend and to formalize Santoas potential, our project explores the inherent urban

limits and creates new centers of economic activity and programmatic difference.

The old industrial zone in the port, left vacant after the conservation industry moved on, offers

a unique position to develop a center of urban activity bordering the coastline. The proposed

design also responds to the sites urban limits and salt mashes. The project, in re-inventing

the historic concept of the port warehouses, creates a large urban space facing the sea that

pursues the organization around a large public space, typical of traditional European towns.

City streets converge inside the project into a road that follows the coast-line towards the

salt marshes. As a result, a new ground level is introduced in the urban fabric that hosts:

an entertainment area, a meeting place for inhabitants, and a center for economic activities.

On the upper levels, housing is created, offering a more intimate and protected living

experience. We avoid the conventional concept of a singular home by establishing a spatial

sequence. The houses face east-west across the patios, opening up to the sea and the horizon.

The raised homes also act as the beams of a large canopy that lters the suns rays. Theses

beams face south and become large arches over the patios. The north wall stretches along

the whole living area, solving one of the eternal problems of modern homes: storage space.

Hosted by the Complutense University of Madrid, this competition called for the

design of a building that could cope with the universitys rising demands for sporting

facilities. The site, located on the ancient stream of Cantarranas, between the complex

in Moncloa and the Faculty of Information Sciences, holds a privileged position

as it is one of the rst images a visitor would see on his arrival from Corua Road.

Our proposal not only responds to the functional demands, but also imagines

a new space in the university life. We have termed it the open forum to allude

to its potential as a place of encounter and dialogue between students. The

building, thus, performs like a bridge that respects the existing pine forest,

promotes student interaction, and reactivates underutilized places in the campus.

This double condition of social life and sporting activities amidst an urban

garden in the university promises to create facilities of Olympic quality.

The climate of San Bartolome is characterized by pronounced arid conditions, trade

winds, and cold temperatures. Historically, the city has developed around farm roads, and

houses typically have a rear garden that produces food for the residents. The site for the

competition lies in a place of transition: between the urban and the natural environment.

We propose a new model for the community, different from traditional, individualistic

patterns characteristic of terraced housing. By stacking and overlapping houses

together, we achieved a higher density that generates an active community. Social

life grows within a new, continuous urban space provided by covered streets.

The design for each unit arises from our investigation into the essential elements of ahouse. As a starting point, we proposed a minimum size for the dwelling that is capable

of responding to different ways of inhabiting space. Each spatial unit is conceived as a

container that uses a simple hinge system, which can transform the interior according to

the daily needs of the inhabitants. Furthermore, a minimal depression inside each house

allows for a common space that can be closed or further subdivided into smaller spaces for

more privacy. The rst oor always has a direct relationship with a courtyard, reengaging

with the islands tradition of cultivating gardens. The courtyards also protect from the wind

and other environmental conditions. The second level has a separate access via stairs

that enable multiple duplex typologies. While the actual dimensions of the units are tight,

the exibility imbedded in each of them allow for a multiplicity of dwelling conditions.

A former restored slaughterhouse in Madrid offers space for a variety

of cultural and creative activities, such as exhibitions that utilize

defunct carcass-hanging hooks to display delicate pieces of art.

Given a limiting budget, we reduced our architectural decisions into two

unique actions. The rst one uses a particular industrial element: doors. By

manipulating their position, the functional possibilities of the design were

.Madrid2011.FirstPrizeCompetition

manipulating their position, the functional possibilities of the design were

multiplied. For example, the main space could be transformed into smaller

spaces to celebrate different activities simultaneously. The second move was

to recover the brickwork to establish a distinct atmosphere within the building.

The execution of these two simple ideas reinforced the scale and proportions

of the interior, while at the same time, it revamped the character of the building.

To satisfy the challenging budget set by Madrids City Hall, the adaptable

intervention is based on a single material and structural feature. At the core

of the concept laid a system of double-height, pivoted steel doors that can

be easily adjusted to meets the needs of the user. The battery of doors

encloses a central rectangular space, enabling this area to be segregated

from the rest of the hall. One possibility is a neutral void that is suitable for

avant-garde installation art and projections. When opened, the set of doors

connects the central area with the rest of the space, achieving full exibility.

When the central area is not enclosed, visitors have an excellent view of the

buildings old interior, whose historical value has been preserved. Existing

windows and doors are equipped with the same steel mechanisms, yet

adapted for a modern intervention. Steel window shutters can be closed to

block the outside environment and to darken the interior for concerts and

performances. Displaying a similar character, the main door pivots at its

central lateral point, thus becoming a marker that denes a threshold into themain space. The chromatic contrast between the converted interior and its

monumental brick shell enhances this unobtrusive and elegant backdrop

to public events, while allowing it to retain a subtle industrial aesthetic.

Located in Riba de Saelices, Guadalajara, the site sits on top of the highesthill of the surroundings, originally serving as a defensive point where the

Arabs could have an advantage over their enemies.

The project consisted of a modest architectural intervention that restored

the semi-destroyed tower to its original volume. Rebuilding the stones back

into their original position, the tower can be contemplated again as an object

in the landscape.

Our challenge was to dene minimal architectural elements that could

reactivate the interior of the structure. These interventions reinforced the

main qualities of the tower, such as the thickness of the walls, the heaviness

of the stone, and the privileged views from the top.

To dignify an entrance and to establish a procession through the project, a

small bridge and two staircases connecting the different levels inside were

built out of aluminum, a very light material. The bridge forces the user to

experience the landscape as a fragile structure, which starkly contrasts

with the solidity of the interior. The bridges handrail metaphorically refers

to the shrubbery found in the surroundings. The highest level is covered

with an aluminum mesh, where visitors can have a global perception of the

landscape.

The existing buildings are in the Cerrillo de San Blas, a

privileged location in the city, next to the Astronomical

Observatory. Originally, the project was conceived as a Civil

Engineering School and its layout mainly divided between

a ground and a rst oor, connected through a central

staircase. Thus, this system corresponded to a functional

necessity different from todays. Furthermore throughout

time, the buildings have suffered negative alterations.

Our project seeks to modernize the existing buildings

to meet the current needs of the administrative ofces,

while suppressing the adverse effects of past architectural

modications. Our proposal inserts a principal mechanical

core that contains the main staircase, a secondary emergency

stair, and elevators. This optimizes space and substantially

improves the circulation and the programmatic demands.

The addition has the light, transparent appearance of two

bodies of glass that lean over the existing structures. By

building on top, the new architecture crowns the existing

one, giving the headquarters a unied, coherent image.

uropeanThe proposed design arises from an exhaustive analysis of how the

building plan has transformed in different time periods. As a result,

three operations stand out addition, compartmentalization, and void

that generated the existing structure. Once the structural logic of the

site is understood, we propose a reorganization of the building, capable

of cleaning, reordering, and recuperating the essence of the place.

Our plan manifests a duality discovered in our research between a

space that is peripheral, preexisting, compact, and compartmentalized

and another that is central, hollow, neutral, and programmatically

multifaceted. Consequently, the most specic and less exible programs

(library, ofces, and meeting rooms) are inserted in the periphery of the

building. This move not only exposes these programs to natural light and

outside views, but also prompts the main circulation to be in the interior.

A grand central void frames the new ground added to the project:

four hanging rooms that bring light from all directions into the heart

of the proposal. This central void, a symbol for the life of the building,

allude to the different courtyards congurations the building has had

throughout history. These added volumes add versatility to the existing by

generating multipurpose rooms with rich spatial and lighting conditions.

point for the design of the housing building: alignments with the existing fabric,

the chamfered corner, setbacks for attics, and a specic building height. We use

these not for their representational value, but rather for their performative logic.

We rst chamfer the corner of a generic volume to determine the buildings organization

in section. Then, three-meter setbacks are applied on the roof to open space for

the attics. Inside, these sloped planes generate attractive double-height spaces,

which generate superior living spaces compared to the typical standards. As a result,

the overall form of the building is characterized by a series of bevelling operations.

The edges and slopes of the chamfers generates facades that lack a clearly

recognizable scale: oor distances, window dimensions, and entrance locations

become blurred. In parallel, the overall image of the building recalls a giant

rock, where the adjoining buildings rest upon. Another series of voids penetrate

the facade, altering the location of the different rooms in each apartment.

In plan, the usual arrangement of two symmetrical apartments on either side of

the hallway per access core is broken. Rather, we propose a cluster of three living

units per access core, optimizing the mechanical performance of the building.

This project might have been called as well periphrasis, that is, using a roundabout way of

expressing something that could be expressed concisely, but not in such an attractive manner.

What seems to be a crooked and elongated form of the new building actually stitches and unies

the surrounding historic buildings of the Jesuit Church and College, while at the same time

providing for the required new Guest House. The continuous section introduced turns and bends,

adapting to the sites boundaries and creating a new focal center. The part of the building that is

not connected to the streets is suspended over the site, creating a shadow over the open space

that divides and adds value to the exterior spaces of the Guest House.

Big palm, lemon, and other types of trees that have been around for years remain in the new

public space. Behind their foliage lies the terrace of the cafeteria and the entrance to the Guest

House. From that point one can see the two other Guest House gardens: the smaller and more

House. From that point one can see the two other Guest House gardens: the smaller and more

private one, which serves as an entrance to the patio guest rooms, and the other, much larger,

which can be seen as big garden, through the windows of the Jesuit College.

To modify the hermetic nature of the site, as well as connect back to the city, we opened an

exterior are of the Guest House for public use. A staircase from Juan Bravo Murillo Street leads

into the elevated garden, where new views from the city can be observed.

The proposal includes three types of spaces: historical, patio, and viewpoint rooms. The rst typeis situated on the rst oor and is conditioned by the structural composition characteristic of the

older Jesuit School. The second type links with the garden level and introduces a small patio in

each room. This increases the feeling of privacy from the street and improves the thermal and

visual comfort of the room. This terrace-patio, inspired by the towns history, serves as a prism

through which the guest perceives the street and the contour of the towns buildings. The third

type of room is located on the rst level of the new buildings, in the dislocated part, which elevates

to enjoy a new scenery of the town. These viewpoint-rooms bend to nd the best perspectives of

the immediate surroundings.

Secondly, it was important to create a dynamic neighborhood that

hosted spaces for interaction and social expression. We introduced

certain nodes into the design interpreted as micro-plazas. Each of

these could exibly adapt depending on the needs of the communityat a given moment.

Finally for each living unit, we retake the idea of a minimum, exible

area that absorbs the constantly changing activities of a house. Each

residence is conceived as a container where a complex system of

revolving doors allows for the transformation of the interior space.

The living space can be used as an open, common space or it can

be closed off into smaller segments for more privacy. The rst oor is

always in direct relationship with a private patio, and the second one

has its own independent access. This limited space compensates

its deciencies with south-oriented patios that have the same

proportions of the house.

The principal idea of the project is to consolidate the Municipal Sports

Center along Islas Filipinas Street, allowing most of the site to remain open.

While most spaces are in the exterior, the covered area is conceptualized

as a terrace garden that oversees the athletic tracks.

A great ring, tangentially extending from the perimeter of the lot,

incorporates two levels associated with sports. The rst one serves the

running tracks and functions as a kind of balcony overlooking the eld.

The second level, protected on the exterior by a pergola constructed out

of metal rods, involves a circular street (not required by the brief), open for

people who just want to take leisurely walks. During big events, this area

can serve as a grand sports suite for the city.

Montijo s coastline gets lost in the ambiguity between land and sea. To

assign a clear identity to the frontier, we wanted to trim that anonymous

boundary and frame it into view. The result was two facades: city and ocean,

welcome and farewell.

The project demarcates the frontier in respect to the materialization of the

terrestrial and the marine. The housing complex is placed in the citys limit,

as a backdrop for the sea; while frames are set overlooking the ocean,

delineating the horizon as a painting to be cherished from the living rooms

of the apartments.

typical in the south of Spain, to discover a bond between the new inhabitant and its

surrounding landscape. The attractive mantle of olive trees that cover the hillside

descend into the site as a large tapestry that directly interacts with the inhabitants.

Given that the program requires a large number of rooms, we introduce a series of

smaller courtyards to split the program into smaller groups and to create a more intimate

relationship between the inside and the outside. A continuous, single bay house breaks

and reorients itself according to the position of each of the courtyards. As a result, the

broken perimeter refers back to the lack of a consolidated urban fabric and also points

to the olive trees random organization.

The main entrance appears through a large shadowed space dened by the footprint

of the upper pentagon, where there is a restaurant and lounge and also a large porch

on the lower oor for the grand multipurpose lobby. From this place, every room in the

inn, including the reception, caf, spa, and private rooms can be accessed. Several

vestibular patios are scaled to t the topography.

MadridThe landscape where this Sculpture Museum rests is unique. Upon our visit, we

realized that people did not use the paved paths, but rather engaged with the sculptures

by moving around small, serpentine, dirt trails that had been created in time. We also

notices that the artwork could only be engaged from the ground, preventing views from

other angles.

Our observations became the starting point to propose a design that recreates the

attractive spots already existing in the park. The new building preserves a relationship

with the open air exhibitions, linking the park into the interior.

The interior of the architecture becomes a new trail in the landscape, while the exterior

serves as a roof over existing trails. Between the curves, we generated small gardens

that became new backdrops for showcasing the sculptures.

The new building will be a continuous section piece of 5.50 meters wide by 550 meters

long and it curves, turns, and bends, in order to adapt itself to the plot limit and to

maintain as many of the existing trees as possible. It abides by the empty spaces and

embraces the sculptures, the trees, and the beauty of the artwork surrounded by nature.

The piece also twists and interlaces upon itself in its vertical dimension, using ramps to

communicated the changing topography. The visitor moves goes up and down, insideand outside, almost without noticing it.

function: sometimes they are LED lights, event lights, projectors, heatsources, or air conditioners.

The resulting form not only alludes to notions of the ephemeral, but

also refers back to a traditional Spanish lacework called mundillo, or

bobbin lace. The thin members of the structure appear and disappear

as they blend with the environment, and the design suggest a novel

identity for the city that looks into the future.
