COAM. INSTITUTIONAL BUILDING
Madrid - Spain
Contest.
36.830 sq m.
The restoration of the old “Escuelas Pías” building is undertaken by separating the original facades from the interior space. The main idea is to restore the outer façade while a totally new building is created inside. Different courtyards organize the whole site. These large open spaces expand and contract through the building like big lens regulating the entrance of natural light.
Colorful landscapes cover the back of the exterior walls. Zenithal lighting is used to enhance the natural lighting of the interiors of this building.
