House P82 / Lucas y Hernández – Gil

January 6, 2019 Daniel Tapia 0

House P82, it is a mid-twentieth century apartment in the city center of Madrid, which was originally very compartmentalized and dark. Our project focused on offering a flexible distribution through big custom-made furniture pieces which hide sliding doors. This way, sunlight reaches every corner of the object. During the refurbishment, we discovered a unique structure made of concrete, which we have let shine through to create a contrast with the delicate, custom-designed furniture. A perfect example is the Kresta Design shelving lacquered in a coral color.

The plot of land is located on the edge of a small hill, in a suburb of Chalkida overlooking the sea. The characteristics of the location and slope of the plot, along with the existence of a main road on the north side, led to the creation of a relatively compact and impenetrable volume from the north. Oppositely on the south side there are the main openings connecting the interior with the yard, semi-covered spaces and balconies.
