Two Strips

Two strips proposes a current housing solution for a large family, enhancing domestic production in large, multifunctional spaces that prioritize interpersonal relationships and conciliation over the traditional compartmentalization of houses in 20th-century Madrid homes.

The project proposes the construction of two equipped furniture pieces or “strips” that provide service to large, multifunctional, and flexible open spaces.

The shape of these longitudinal programmatic pieces is determined by the structure of the building. These new elements equip the living areas: multifunctional spaces that allow and enhance programmatic flexibility and conciliation. The concrete structure, as well as the materiality of the elements (natural wood), help the visitor quickly understand the intervention.

The wet areas, linked to the bedrooms, are located between the two elements.

The large living-dining-study space is where daily domestic life takes place. The spacious room, which stands out for its spatial flexibility, so characteristic of post-COVID times, claims its role as the main space of the house.
