Montecarmelo Townhouses
Family Housing for OOIIO
If you think on all those terraced houses in Madrid, images of monotony and alignment come to mind quickly. The urban planning that governs Madrid´s neighbourhoods is a cage for creativity, a factory of the same. This is why we used for this project the design techniques of Dalí s Paranoid Critical Method: let the imagination fly to escape from restrictions. The main idea was born thinking of traditional sun protection systems, such as esparto blinds, that can be found in vernacular architecture in southern Spain, and build brick "blinds" protecting the façades.

Research
Our team work always step by step, first of all making a Concept Research. The objective of the research is to find a generator idea to guide us in the design of the project. The research tools are based in simplicity and the re-interpretation of tradition that we think that are the key to find the most intelligent solution to a design problem.
Inspiration
The main idea was born thinking of traditional sun protection systems, such as esparto blinds that can be found in vernacular architecture in southern and eastern Spain, we came to the solution of creating rough brick cloths that cover and protect from the sun these terraced houses in Madrid, configuring the facade.
