Lolita Office Building, Madrid

Ábalos + Sentkiewicz 


This office building goes up by the intersection between two Madrid highways, the M-40 and the A-6, with a small park at its feet and views of the city to the south and of the mountains to the north. The guiding concept is to create a stimulating workspace without the modular and material conventions of office buildings, favoring an interior landscape that interacts with the different scales of the exterior landscape: the highways, whose trace it imitates and follows; the faraway views, towards which the volumes are oriented; and finally, the public park and private garden through which it ineracts with the shadows of the trees and the reflections of the water. The building manages to assert its presence precisely because it relies on architecture’s own resources – geometry, scale and proportion –, reducing the limit of the construction elements used. The acoustic and atmospheric pollution determine the hermetic triple-glass enclosure with nighttime air renewal via mechanical means, a solution that, thanks to its high thermal insulation, permits large glass walls that establish a panoramic relationship with the natural and artificial environment of Madrid.
