The Design
About Montecarmelo Townhouses Familiewoningen
Montecarmelo Townhouses is een familiewoningenproject in Madrid, Spanje. Het ontwerp speelt in op een buurt van rijtjeshuizen met een repetitief en uitgelijnd uiterlijk. De gevels zijn bekleed met ruwe bakstenen schermen die het interieur beschermen tegen de zon. Het idee is afgeleid van traditionele zonweringssystemen, zoals de esparto-jaloezieën die te vinden zijn in de traditionele architectuur van Zuid- en Oost-Spanje. De bakstenen zijn groter dan de standaardmaat en zijn verticaal gelegd. Het bebouwde oppervlak bedraagt 586,4 vierkante meter. Het werk werd uitgevoerd tussen oktober 2017 en maart 2019.

- 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.
