With this project for a musician at the center of Madrid, we are presenting the fourth part of our Multiplying Architectures. In this case, we worked over a too fragmented and dark previous situation, typical of ground floors at historical centers. After a detailed study of the existent wooden structure, our first intention was making stronger the most characteristic visual elements, that are the structure and the brick walls. Openness was the main tool for introducing light and multiply internal uses at the most public part of the housing; the most important spaces, so, fulfill the most important needs (living, dinning, kitchen) depending of furniture, but also supply infinite multiplication of posible functions. Contrasting to it, the room, bath and closets are placed on the contrary part of the house.

Photographies of the Whale House, in Tokyo
Here you can see the result of our last trip to Japan. Because of the finalization of the last two projects by Murashige Architects, we moved to make the photographic reports. In the case of this project that we are showing first, it is a renovation of a singular house of more than 30 years placed in a classical residential area of the outskirts of Tokyo.
One of the special things of this house is its wooden construction, made by the same only carpenter, which made easier obtaining plans and details. At the beginning, clients’ intentions were making the renovation of only one part: the dinning, the bath and other little things. But after analizing the present situation of the structure, interior and general systems, architects planned a full renovation, but under the same low-cost criteria.
“We have eliminated the walls that were not needed and besides that those that divided too much interior spaces with the goal of introduting light inside the house. The work with the rest has been mainly a change of the paper. General systems are decided to be made by commercial solutions in order to make it cheaper.
The most important element would be the central void. It was before a japanese room that could not be used by this family just because they wanted to sleep in a regular bed. The form of the void as the back of a whale was born because of the request of the client to keep the closet and at the same time getting the introduction of light. The curved line is decided by the research of the maximun reflection of light, in a deep study of the sun. The same importance has the intention of a usefull space, open to the whole family.”

Photography_Dabbawala Restaurant
Hi all! These are the photographies that we have made for the project of Dabbawala Restaurant, whose chef is the amazing Luca Rodi, who is appearing in the TV show Top Chef… The design, by dg architects, consisted on the remodeling of a two floor area, the Dabbawala Restoran and the Dabbawala Underground, but mainly the last one, in the ground floor, a recovered area with old brick walls… We hope you like them… and we encourage you to visit it to enjoy their spectacular food!

Photography_Cafe Sacai, Tokyo
Here you will find our photography report of the Cafe Sacai, by Murashige Architects… from our last visit to the always surprising Tokyo!
http://www.idearch-studio.com/portfolio/cafe-sacai-tokyo_interior-2/
http://www.idearch-studio.com/portfolio/cafe-sacai-tokyo_exterior/
As the architect tell us:
“Sacai is the word for earth and means border in japanese. Our goal is experimenting with the charm of the ambiguity of sacai and also visualizating the broad time of this cafe.”
The main points that the architect emphasizes:
-The volume was directed by the JR (Japan Railway), with openness in the north face, where public area was decided to be placed. The area is 80 m² with a height of 2.7 m.
-The structure is made in steel. It tries to be as light as possible, working with interior materials and furniture so that all can be understood as layers from outside. Everything was organized by fraction and multiplicity of structural dimension.
-Everything is designed so that the internal space can be perceived with the maximum openness. The frames and the joints are designed as low as possible, and the furniture is selected depending on the height. The windows design is thought to be large and with the same criteria as structure.
We hope you like it!

Our Low-cost Remodeling!
Here is our last project! It consists on a remodeling of an old house in Madrid. The owners wanted an open space and light as the main tool. Our strategy was cleaning almost all previous traces of walls and open the space in a continuous area. Entrance, kitchen, office and living room is now joined in a unique space. As their budget was really tight, the main work was then the ceiling, where we propose a two-level wooden area where to have all storage, or hanging shelves.
We hope you like it!

Architecture_Our new space in Zurbano!
We are happy to present our new working space in Madrid!
The goal of the renovation was maintaining the spacious character of the place, working on floors, walls and mainly the illumination. The idea was very simple, using sincere materials that were pure and abstract… Contrasting with a almost black and white architecture, we want a colored and vivid dynamic interior.
In the future, the place will be changing depending on our own work. Photographs, models or drawings will be hanging on the walls or windows. New sketches on the black walls will constantly change the aspect of the office. Our future is the future of the space… We will show you more pictures in the future.
We really hope you like it, and feel free to visit us whenever you want!
Publications_ÁLVARO SIZA. Complete Works 1952-2013
Philip Jodidio
Hardcover
30,8 x 39 cm, 500 p.
Edition: Español, Italiano, Portugués
Facing the work of Alvaro Siza is extremely hard. The numerous publications of his projects, known by everybody, make the risk of not being able to give a new look to his work be high. Nevertheless, it is precisely the ambition of this work by Philip Jodidio what favors its success. This ambition tries to go over all his works, from 1952 to his last works in 2013. From his first works in Leca da Palmeira or the Quinta da Malagueira to his last ones in South Korea or Switzerland we understand the evolution of an architect that has known how to understand the change between the local and the global, and has trespassed their borders, thanks to the immense quality of the small and artisanal and at the same time of the technological and international.

Now, 50% population live in cities. in 50 years, 2/3 of humanity will live in cities
Among all common patterns caused by densification, we have found some specific spaces that are not solved in dense cities, islands in urban congestion that architecture or traditional urbanism haven´t thought about.
Infrastructural voids seem to be isolated in the city. They are vast terrain vagues with a clear overexistence of underused infrastructures.

Fotografías_Oficinas de la Diputación Provincial de Zamora

Colaborador de concurso: Gonzalo Bárcenas Medina
1er premio en concurso nacional de ideas año 2000
Obra: 2008-2011
Las nuevas oficinas de la Diputación Provincial de Zamora dan respuesta no sólo a un determinado programa de usos sino también a uno de los más comprometedores entornos de Zamora: la Plaza de Viriato. La propuesta ofrece la cuarta fachada de la plaza y se organiza en torno a un patio que le permite:
-Duplicar el número de estancias con orientación norte-sur.
-Obtener vistas diagonales de la plaza y su entorno que pasan a ser partícipes de su vida interior.
-Generar una imagen muraria de acuerdo al entorno sin desatender las necesidades de iluminación de las oficinas.
El revestimiento exterior se resuelve con piedra Arenisca de Zamora igual a la de los edificios que la rodean. Utilizada en fachada trasventilada, lejos de esconder su sistema constructivo, muestra su carácter a través de los rastreles de acero que la sustentan. En la parte baja se crea un zócalo con costeros que recobran el lenguaje de base muraria que ofrece el entorno. La cubierta plana recubierta de piedra se convierte en una fachada más.

Museo ABC. Aranguren+Gallegos Arquitectos
Presentamos el video que hemos estado realizando este mes del Museo ABC en Madrid. Hemos pretendido dar una visión personal y experimental del edificio utilizando el video como una nueva herramienta de representación y narración de un proyecto arquitectónico. El video está adquiriendo una creciente importancia como medio paralelo a la fotografía y desde impresiones [de arquitectura] estamos muy orgullosos de este trabajo. Esperamos seguir usándolo en el futuro para nuevos proyectos…
Here we are presenting the video for ABC Museum in Madrid that we have been making during this month. With it, we are trying to produce a personal and experimental vision of the building, using video as a new tool for a project representation. Lately, video is having an increasing importance as a parallel way of working with photography and from impresiones [de arquitectura] we are very proud of this work. We hope that we can use it again in the future for new projects…
