Design competition for dwelling in the Block Bordered by Raimundo Fernández Villaverde, Alonso Cano, Maudes and Ponzano Streets - Madrid – Spain

Abstract

The guideline ideas of the project for this competition have been: on the level of the detailed study - the adaptation to a residential use of the block which had been foreseen as for the construction of office buildings, on the basis of unifying the garden areas, adjusting and broadening the accesses and pedestrian crossings and striving for architectural aesthetics more in consonance with the new use; and, on the level of the dwelling - having all of the bedrooms and main living areas look on to the outside, with ventilation by interior patios solely for kitchens and stairways.
