This small residential building is located in the historic centre of Madrid, near Plaza Mayor. The lot faces two streets, front and rear, and occupies a total surface of approximately 100 m2. The requirements included a parking area and two studio apartments per floor. The façades were finished with big ceramic plates in line with the classic colours of the Madrileño“revocos”(traditional external wall plasterwork). The window openings are vertical and asymmetrical, encased in metallic boxes in reminiscence of the traditional Spanish glazed balconies.
