El proyecto para la ampliación del edificio se enfrenta a dos condiciones. Una, la de diseñar un edificio sobre otro ya rematado, protegido por patrimonio y que agote edificabilidad; y la segunda, acoplar al contexto urbano el edificio, continuando la arista de la cornisa de la Calle Melquiades Álvarez hasta Fray Ceferino, cuyo punto de giro es el edificio que abordamos.

Conseguir una nueva unidad es el mayor esfuerzo proyectual donde 100 maquetas han probado todas las soluciones posibles para dar con una que concluye respetando el orden geométrico del edificio protegido. Gracias a su materialidad y al pavés con canto de espejo se va al cielo y despeja el protagonismo histórico del edificio existente, que a su vez es suma de dos: uno, un basamento proyectado por Julio Galán en 1919, réplica del Palacete del Dean de Pallarinos y dos, una ampliación con remate al estilo modernista madrileño que concluyó Casariego en el año 1950.

Each Table shows the Work in Progress

Z4Z4 + Z4A is an architecture and design office located in Madrid, Spain, and Houston, Texas. Led by co-principals Rafael Beneytez-Duran and Ophelia Mantz, the office is committed to the idea that architecture is a system of thought. Z4A is where ideological, theoretical, and aesthetic matters are assembled. Z4Z4 is where all projects are being developed in technical and material form. From research to writing, from writing to design, from research to writing, and design to teaching. All works are framed over wide tables where assemblies and relationships are designed.
