Description of project by Amann, Cánovas, Maruri
Instead of a place, characterized by compact and continuous fronts we opted to build three towers. Three slender buildings that allow the orientation of the containing apartments in three directions without disturbance, and the living areas to cover a 180 degree horizon, from the mountains of the Sierra of Madrid to the Skyline of the Castellana with its four towers, as well.
This arrangement allows for the disappearance of small interior courtyards and the discovery of an open garden, with light and views. It is the public heart of a project that values the community and its encounters, not only in the tired repetition of the commercial, but in the birth of different episodes that thread sociability.
The apartments are window and vision, their load-bearing structure is displaced to the perimeter and their sanitary blocks are concentrated to allow for versatility in layouts and flexibility based on storage.
The outer appearance of the buildings is metallic and shiny, evading the earthy and brown shades so common in Madrid dwellings. Its corner are curved and adapted to the outlines of the site. Once a forest grows in the garden between the towers, the buildings will be part of that forest that bestows a silhouette of life.
The architects team based in Madrid, Amann, Cánovas, Maruri, was the winner in the restricted competition summoned by Viviendas Vicopal SL.
Amann, Cánovas, Maruri propose the realization of three towers, in this new neighborhood near the airport, with houses characterized by large windows and 180 degree views, generating an organization without a courtyard, but with an interior garden, which values the community and values the community and its encounters.
