The Design

About Montecarmelo Townhouses Logement familial

Les maisons de ville de Montecarmelo constituent un projet de logement familial à Madrid, en Espagne. La conception répond à un quartier de maisons mitoyennes à l'aspect répétitif et aligné. Les façades sont revêtues de claustras en brique brute qui protègent les intérieurs du soleil. L'idée s'inspire des systèmes traditionnels de protection solaire, tels que les stores en sparte que l'on retrouve dans l'architecture vernaculaire du sud et de l'est de l'Espagne. Les briques, de dimensions supérieures au format standard, sont posées verticalement. La surface construite est de 586,4 mètres carrés. Les travaux ont été réalisés entre octobre 2017 et mars 2019.

Unique Properties: When we all close our eyes and think of the words terraced houses in Madrid images of monotony and alignment come to mind quickly. It is true that the urban planning that governs the Madrid neighbourhoods are authentic cages for creativity, alignment machines, factories of the same. In OOIIO Architecture we apply certain design techniques, such as Dalí s paranoid critical method, which allow us to escape these restrictions. Thinking with an inspiration idea.
Dimensions & Packaging: Build area of townhouses 586,4 m2.

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.
