Municipal Library of Los Molinos

Estudio DIIR 


DIIR, the Madrid practice of David Meana, Ignacio Navarro, Iñigo Palazón, and Ricardo Fernández, has transformed an old building with dormitories for teachers into the library of Los Molinos, a municipality of the Madrid metropolitan area, specifically in the Guadarrama Mountains.

A new circulation core with a semi-circular shape is attached to the building at the center. A reception space completes the semi-circle and forms its outline by means of a wooden bench. From this point, a large wood-paneled hallway acts as a spine and leads to each of the rooms. The color white dominates the interiors and gives prominence to the unique vaulted roof.
