Resilience and endurance were at the forefront of the minds of the family at Wings Way in Skene's Creek. Having lost their original, much-loved, family home to fire, they needed the replacement design to provide a sense of safety and permanence that was missing from the fibre cement-clad seventies home that preceded it.
The office on the 42nd floor of Torre Picasso (Madrid) was born from a competition in which the client had a peculiar program for only 4 permanent workers in an area of 330 m2, to which occasionally are added more employees coming from different company locations to hold meetings in the rooms of this office.
The La Florida Reservoir was the chosen location for this small summer retreat. Its proximity to a small pine forest was a decisive factor among the options presented for this project.
