Plaza de España 8 Residential Buiding

Cieza , Región de Mucia

YEAR: 2014 - 2015 PROGRAM: Residential SURFACE: 900 sqm CLIENT: Promociones Martinez Lucas sl PHOTOGRAPHY : David Frutos

We firmly decided to see this project as an opportunity when we first faced this narrow plot (barely wide 7,40 meters, 18 meters deep)for 5 flats and a property dwelling building. This opportunity was brought forward when we first visited the plot in order to take advantage of facing a lively square, full of activity and a sunny façade.

We developed two openings in the prism we obtained as a result of the maximum floor area ratio for obtaining an interior patio for the dwellings and a centred skylight. This skylight allows passive ventilation (perimeter grille) apart from lighting up the building stairs.We focused all our expressive capacity in the façade composition. We decided to setback the penthouse’s wall on the purpose of creating an accurate flying volume which defines a hollow that works as a balcony to the square, protects the building entrance and makes the façade appear less svelte at the same time.w Inside this frame, our facade composition, with its apparent disorder, seeks to express its inhabitant’s individuality reflected in each home and represented by the furnishing which can be seen inside during summer nights.

Reaching this point, you must realize that you have lost the property of the building project since it belongs from now on to its inhabitants.
