118 Subsidized Dwellings
Coslada, Spain
Type
YEAR
2013
Located in Coslada, a recently redeveloped industrial town close to Madrid, the project is born of the arrangement of different building uses at different heights: underground parking, street-level offices and commercial units, a raised public space, and residences above.
Publicly developed, the €8,700,000 scheme aims to satisfy the urgent need for low cost housing in the area, specifically intended for young people. Of the 215,000-square-foot building, 70% of the 118 units are appointed for rent, keeping 35 dwellings for sale.
The volume, divided into four towers, is oriented around a raised public space that simultaneously acts as a cover for the entrances and commercial units below; as such the building becomes a visible urban joint connecting the city at a wider scale.
The street-level square is connected by an elevator and a hung metallic staircase to a square above that is very much the heart of the project. Elevated 32 feet, it links the four towers horizontally while separating the diverse building uses vertically. Once equipped, it becomes a leisure space for collective socialization; a community square that serves the city.
The housing complex consists of 430-square-foot one-bedroom apartments, and 645-square-foot two-bedroom apartments. The interior of these is conceived as a continuous space, modifiable with large sliding doors and 75- square-foot protected terraces. The interior spaces are separated from the outside by a thick linear storage set, and from the noise of common corridors by a row of wet service rooms.
The reinforced concrete structure is covered with a sheet skin of grey lacquered steel, acting as a ventilated façade that changes between opaque and perforated finishes depending upon the specific conditions of use. The resulting nuances in light and ventilation create an intense and complex building envelope.
