About Montecarmelo Townhouses Familienwohnhäuser
Die Montecarmelo Townhouses sind ein Familienwohnprojekt in Madrid, Spanien. Der Entwurf reagiert auf ein Viertel aus Reihenhäusern mit repetitiver und fluchtender Erscheinung. Die Fassaden sind mit rauen Ziegelschleiern verkleidet, die die Innenräume vor der Sonne beschatten. Die Idee entstammt traditionellen Sonnenschutzsystemen, etwa den Espartogras-Vorhängen aus der volkstümlichen Architektur Süd- und Ostspaniens. Die Ziegel sind größer als das Standardformat und vertikal verlegt. Die bebaute Fläche beträgt 586,4 Quadratmeter. Die Arbeiten wurden zwischen Oktober 2017 und März 2019 ausgeführt.

- Production Technology
- Main material was rough brick cloths that cover and protect from the sun the facade of both houses. The brick has special dimensions, bigger than the regular size, and was placed in a vertical way.
- Design Challenge
- The obstacles overcomed during the development of the project were mainly related with the client taste. Sometimes it's difficult to shift their ideas of a modern house.
- Research
- Our team work always step by step, first of all making a Concept Research. The objective of the research is to find a generator idea to guide us in the design of the project. The research tools are based in simplicity and the re-interpretation of tradition that we think that are the key to find the most intelligent solution to a design problem.
- Inspiration
- The main idea was born thinking of traditional sun protection systems, such as esparto blinds that can be found in vernacular architecture in southern and eastern Spain, we came to the solution of creating rough brick cloths that cover and protect from the sun these terraced houses in Madrid, configuring the facade.
- Project Duration
- The project started in October in 2017 and finished in March 2019 in Madrid.
- Operation Flow
- These townhouses could inspire the new generation of architects to build singular architecture in a monotony urban environment. Breaking the monotony of the surroundings and building, in this way, fresh urbanism in the cities.
