2 photo: José F García Martín photo: José F García Martín Villaverde Social Housing Calle del Berrocal Madrid This project is located in a new development area in the Villaverde district of southern Madrid Comprised of 176 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, it responds to an overall masterplan for the site which requested a single U-shaped block of eight storeys high and which has the appearance of a pitched roof Within the confines of this brief, the design attempted to manipulate these architectural restrictions so as to abstract the normative idea of an apartment block So whereas other neighbouring buildings adopt a symmetrical, double-pitched silhouette, here the traditional relationships of wall and roof are abstracted into a low, single pitch for the bulk of the block, and a small secondary pitch at the building s front edge The materials chosen are earthy-pink concrete for the façade panels and slate-blue concrete for the courtyard portico A dense band of landscaping is located in between, to reach the effect of a rich panel of colours radiating outwards photo: José F García Martín Project is not public!

5 photo: Sergio Padura photo: Paul Riddle Carabanchel Social Housing Calle Tubas Madrid Foreign Office Architects gave bamboo a leading role in their latest housing scheme in There were two main reasons for doing so: it's eco-friendly and it's comfortingly cosy Bamboo louvres mounted on folding frames cover the façades of the building in Madrid's Carabanchel public housing development in the city's southern suburbs The basic parallelogram block contains units of different shapes and sizes which, thanks to their tube-like interior, all have a dual east-west orientation as well as access to a private garden on the eastern side The louvres not only provide the necessary protection from the blazing summer sun, but also enhance security and, because they are completely under the control of each unit's occupants, they also highlight the latter's spatial independence photo: Paul Riddle Project is not public! 2007 Architect Foreign Office Architects GMU GonzaloHerreroDelicado 5
