The building for Save The Children Foundation is a strategic point in the San Diego neighbourhood for the social work that this NGO carries out in the Vallecas area. The project involves the refurbishment and extension of the current building so as to address the needs of a child care centre. The proposal is based on adding a new body that is suspended over the existing structure. This extends the building and configures a new façade, as well as a new communications and service core.
The dwelling under refurbishment is situated in the very centre of Madrid, next to one of the most important cultural sites in the city, namely, the surroundings of the Retiro Park. It is a top storey flat with a terrace of 190 m2 of usable space. The project aims to recover the potential of the outdoor space and its natural lighting, since prior to refurbishment the dwelling was excessively partitioned and dark.
The project for the new University of Navarre Clinic in Madrid follows a high specialization, teaching and research hospital model, in which the patient is at the centre of all care.
A compact building was deigned where distances are minimised, the S/V ratio and the construction economy are improved while making the most of natural light. Vertical communications and developments are promoted as a quick and easy approach to the patient.
The project intends to create an environment for the patient that is close to the comfort conditions found at home, which would effectively favour the patient’s recovery.
The building, built in 1967, is located in the area of Legazpi, in Madrid.
The area has undergone a great transformation in recent years. Where industrial buildings predominated today we find a residential area full of services and green areas, thanks to its proximity to the cultural center Matadero and the green axis Madrid-Rio.
The transformation of this house in the center of Madrid is based on a radical premise: concentrate all the fixed elements of the house (kitchen, bathroom, storage …) in a central server core, liberating the perimeter to create a flexible and fluid living space.
For this, a wooden box of 2.25 meters in height is built, which allows the complete view of the original wooden beams and the expansion of the spatial perception of the whole house.
This project has been carried out thanks to the Torrelodones municipality initiative which seeks to improve the current conditions of the most degraded public schools in the area by introducing a small architectural intervention network of new constructions. This gives the opportunity to introduce ecological concepts in schools with very low cost.
In this case, a small pavilion was required for a sports activity next to the existing school.
Breaking up with the traditional concept of this type of spaces, which are usually very closed to the outside, a large window opened to east appears, offering a view of the sky.
Vinoteka-Neotaska is located on the Ponzano Street, a gastronomic and trendy area of Madrid. By reusing traditional elements and materials from Spanish bar typology, called “castiza”, and the careful execution of details, an innovative yet intimate space has been created, delivering a unique culinary experience.
Using the traditional elements from the Madrid canteens, we could create a basement dominated by a large central table in birch wood, creating a direct relationship with the cook. Making the restaurant an attractive and traditional spot.
Febrero Studio has designed Qualitas Equity Partners offices located in the Salamanca district of Madrid, Spain.
The office occupies a complete floor of a building in a busy corner in Barrio de Salamanca, one of Madrid´s best neighborhoods.
We wanted to bring natural light throughout the space. We decided to bring the individual office boxes and meeting rooms towards the façade and enclose them using only a very light iron and glass wall. The open office spaces are located at the end of each building wing.
The new Atlético de Madrid Stadium, Wanda Metropolitano, is the result of the expansion of the old Athletics Stadium of the Community of Madrid, completed in 1994. The project consisted of building a football stadium capable of obtaining the highest qualification that allowed to host European competition finals, and an approximate capacity of 70,000 spectators.
