The project is approached as a reinterpretation of the classic Spanish barracks typology, in which sobriety, practicality and simplicity when it comes to solving constructive and functional issues take precedence over everything else. To this approach we add a special interest in adapting the built volume to the topography of the terrain and the possibility of visual escapes that the banks of the Manzanares River offers.

The projected spaces are sober and simple, but endowed with a quality of space typical of an architecture that deepens the human relationship of the user with the building and its scales.

The arrangement of the volumes is, a priori and deliberately, classical. In its composition and proportion. But it is a classicism thought in an abstract way. The planes that divide the orders of the project disintegrate at the corners, merge with the interior of the building, compress and expand always looking for that volumetric play of the facade that has to do essentially with the path of the sun and with the spaces that are hidden behind or open to the great landscape.

The building projects its deceptive symmetry onto the viewer, which is modulated by the character of the interior spaces on each facade, the entrances, exits, cracks and eaves, naturally accepting the form resulting from a program of functional needs and sunlighting that is not, of course, symmetrical.

It is organized into 3 clearly differentiated sectors, with specific uses and energy strategies. These 3 sectors are linked together by a long landscaped garden courtyard that provides freshness, visual escapes and communication between the various plants and with the surrounding space.
