Mirador Sanchinarro, Spain : Madrid Apartment Building

Madrid Housing, Spain - design by MVRDV with Blanca Lleó

Mirador Sanchinarro Madrid 2005 Apartment Building Design: MVRDV / Blanca Lleó Associates Sanchinarro is a residential suburb on the north east edge of Madrid. Surrounded by highways, with views towards the Guadarrama Mountains. photos : Rob’t Hart The building was developed as a reference point for the city extension and region at large, as a counterpoint against the massive uniformity of the surrounding blocks. The 22 level building acts as a frame for the distant landscape. The large lookout at 40 metres above the ground provides inhabitants and neighbours with a commu¬nity garden and a space from where they can contemplate the skyline. The proposal opens domestic architecture to the new city environment and to its surrounding territories. The Mirador contains a wide variety of compact housing types. In contrast to the serial and rationalist repetition of the standard family unit, the housing units are grouped in small ‘buildings’. These ‘blocks’, stacked and glued together, make up a new towering ‘superblock’. It provides the neighbourhood with an unusual urban capacity.“wooden house”, etc. The 4 facades are identical, so there is no front/backside. photos : Rob’t Hart Mirador Apartments Sanchinarro - Building Information Mirador Sanchinarro Madrid, Spain Date: 2001-05 Type: Apartment Building Architect: MVRDV, Rotterdam, The Netherlands / Blanca Lleó Associates, Madrid, Spain Client: Municipality of Madrid Size & Program: 18.300 m2; 156 apartments Budget: 10 Million Euro Contractor: Dragados y Consytucciones, Madrid, Spain Co-Architect: Blanca Lleó Associates, Madrid, Spain Technical Architect: Apartec Colegiados S.L., Madrid, Spain Structure: NB35, Madrid, Spain Services: JG & asociados, Barcelona, Spain Schedule Concept Design: May 2001 - Jan 2002 Definitive Design: Jan 2002 - Jun 2005 Construction: Nov 2002 - Jun 2005 Mirador Sanchinarro Madrid images / information from MVRDV Mirador Housing : MVRDV
