Carabanchel 16 : sustainable public housing in Madrid
Carabanchel 16 is a public housing complex commissioned by the city of Madrid to realize an efficient and sustainable solution to public housing shortages. Alejandro Zaera Polo of Foreign Office Architects designed the 88-unit building with a sharp focus on the needs of its occupants in correlation to relevant aesthetics and functionality. The complex receives relentless direct sunlight and heat which is effectively relieved by wrap-around terraces with full-coverage, folding bamboo shutters. Residents may open or shut these frames to any degree of their liking, resulting in an ever-changing profile with varying degrees of angles, planes, light, and shadow.
