​This project dealt with the implementation of the results and lessons extracted from the first term’s project at the Architectural Association and how these may contribute to the development of a new or existing house or live-work environment. In our case, we developed a combined-use complex (office-dwelling) in a very narrow plot in Madrid. The plot was part of a dense urban fabric. Therefore, there was no question of a “full site extrusion” or an interrupted street line as the former would cause problems with solar access and air flow, whereas the latter would create a perforated condition. In addition, one of the aims was to reawaken interaction between neighbours. Thus, a basic aim was to design the exterior and interior spaces interwoven together.
