Simplify to hit, or Function makes the form are ideas we apply when we conceptualize Projects.  Image Courtesy © David Frutos  Image Courtesy © David Frutos We want no honour or arrogance buildings, or high estimates. It means we want buildings to talk about people into the company and can perfectly to be connected with people out of this. Smart Projects whose form are unnoticed along the time and survive to the function.

If the building never dies is because it turns to be an icon in popular ideology.  Image Courtesy © David Frutos  Image Courtesy © David Frutos Design Process We started with the Project in 2010, when we decided to believe in the Singular Design of CUALTIS, and after having part also in the construction of their offices in Murcia. The old construction was a building with red bricks fronts and full of windows (128). How this is an administrative area, placed in one industrial zone in Madrid and we thought to risk with the Final Design.  Image Courtesy © David Frutos  Image Courtesy © David Frutos The building is far from the most transitables places, so we needed to move it to a first line. To make it easy to recognize the construction We began with the idea of the trapezoidal volume and the heigh (5 floors ) of the ground and decided to cover all with a second structure, also called skin. Projecting shadows, that make lower Interior solar charge of different departments. That way, we easily differentiate ground floor between the others, changing colour and use of the others external structures (skins).

Both pieces are made in the same material, respecting the essence of manufacturing process. With that will be reach the sensation of being a natural and continuous texture and plot but not a repetitive view. Also, the plot will be over the hightest point of the building, allowing to see clearly the sky through the big spaces. Then we get a lighter, etereo and more trivial building.

That space will be used like an enormous and irregular canvas, expecting the intervention of the artist SUSSO33. Thinking about 2010, when Spain went into a big crisis, damaging in special construction area. It lets a lot of unfinished projects, only the structure was up. Then properties, decided to order some artists to decorate these spaces with big pictures making a cleaner and smarter place.  Image Courtesy © David Frutos  Image Courtesy © David Frutos Urban artist SUSSO33, has acted over the derelics or demolished spaces, that we call “absenses”. Life had been on these walls time ago. That is the reason why we decided to believe to him for that project from the begin. Define the four fronts of the building like a naked canvas. Absense changes to presence, making the building more personal.
