The Paseo de La Habana project was a crash course in adaptation to the environment. Initially conceived as an agglomeration of small brick houses, the project underwent a total adaptation when we faced its industrialization. The breaks were regularised, and the geometric play was reduced to a fragmented brick façade with a carefully designed break-up. The work was undertaken with the challenge of being finished in 9 months and the brick had to give way gently to a corrugated sheet metal, whose interest is based on the use of various patterns to achieve a singular envelope. The profuse interior design corresponds to the freshness of the envelope, with the lighting being one of its greatest attractions. Nine months (and a half) later, the work was a reality, and it is currently one of the most modern and dynamic residences in Madrid.
