Renovate of pavilions 7 and 8 of the School of Health in Madrid, located within the Chamartín campus of the Carlos III Health Institute. This architectural intervention not only remodels the spaces but also connects them efficiently with the Health Sciences Library, creating a more accessible and functional environment.

The design of the new volumes responds to the topography of the land and the existing architecture, integrating new elements such as the atrium, the campus café, and the auditorium. These spaces are arranged fluidly, providing a unified image of the complex and enhancing connectivity both internally and externally. A key aspect of the project is the total accessibility solution, which adapts to the various elevations and optimizes user circulation.

The intervention also includes the renewal of the exterior environment. An organically shaped garden surrounds the complex, organizes the slopes, and provides accessible pathways that connect the different elements of the campus, promoting integration with the natural surroundings.·
