The traditional TownHouse typology and Fire Escapes Structures dress- ing building facades epitomize New York iconography and the identity of many neighborhoods in the city. The stoops have historically served for incidental social interaction, children’s place of play, neighbors sales… Fire Escapes operate as extensions of the interior space overlooking the street, creating shared space for potential community engagement.

This work is the result of the collaboration with Juegaterapia, a non-profit foundation that improves the life conditions of children with cancer. They began delivering donated play-stations to the kids in order to be used during the chemo but they have expanded their agenda and now they transform rooftops and leftover spaces destined for installations in pediatric hospitals into playgrounds for the hospitalized kids. This project offered a great opportunity to test out how design can shape perception, cognition and experience and most importantly can be an instrument to improve every day life.

The Library of the Future goes beyond the loan and consultation of books, it is a dynamic space, of creation, of exchange of knowledge and ideas, that opens a door of connection with the world, incorporating new technologies. The Biblio-Huerta is understood as an experiential learning space, capable of stimulating the senses, making the user more connected with the outer spaces, the perception of the seasons and the micro eco-systems generated around the new knowledge space.

The area in Torrelodones where the house is located is characterised by a rough topography. A very steep slope facing the skyline of the city is what makes the site unique. The house is split in three volumes in order to negotiate with the topography, create as much inhabitable exterior space as possible and maximize the west views towards the city. Two of these three parts are embebed in the ground, anchoring the construction and minimizing the visual impact of the house in the landscape, but the third one rises prominently, like a periscope, in order to capture as much horizon as posible, floating over the green ocean of olive trees. The perception of the extreme slope preceding the view of the skyline of Madrid are framed and transformed by a sequence of concrete surfaces, glass walls and water reflections that enlarge, focus and enhance the natural beauty of the area.

Campo Real is a small town in the surroundings of Madrid. The topography of the site, a very steep slope facing the skyline of the city makes the view the most important feature of the lot. The house is not intended to be a prominent object on the site but rather disappear and be a mere device to emphasise the beauty of the landscape. The perception of the gentle slopes and the olive trees preceding the view of the skyline of Madrid are framed and transformed by a sequence of concrete surfaces, glass walls and water reflections that enlarge, focus and enhance the natural beauty of the area.
