Carabanchel Social Housing in Madrid by Coco Architects

There are 168 homes in a building with premises in keeping with today’s society, the home architecture characterized by the pursuit of individuality.
“A building parallel to the slope of the field as a response consistent with a peripheral context of major roads, highways edge of the city that ends, estates services and suburban malls. A place where any event requires a level of similar boldness .

The statement of social housing is addressed from premises in line with present-day society, marked by the pursuit of self-expression as a vehicle for self-assertion. Any citizen with devotion is used to customize your home based on new delivery mechanisms, multi-department stores that allow the dream of personal autonomy in choosing the design criteria of your home.

It made a close ratio type unit, opened at the two large developments through the facade. Different landscapes dominate: on one side and the other city center field. With rooms that fill the bay to peer simultaneously to both. Households with ambiguous spaces and reconfigurable. Farms with vague boundaries. A peripheral to building additional rooms, floating on the outside, with sufficient size to accommodate any domestic activity.

This room, with its free position in the facade, is the vehicle of expression of the new approach. A random image where all the rebels are unique, all houses are different and only the specific participation of each user ends up making sense of the building. ”
