UPM ETSAM | MADRID | SPRING 2023

The revitalization of an old tobacco factory in the heart of Madrid involves several bold interventions. Firstly, removing the top floor restores the factory to its original state. Additionally, two new linear extensions are added, designed to offer adequate housing that aligns with the local climate, utilizing architectural elements to provide maximum shade.

On the ground floor, the market extends into a delicately designed pavilion, wrapping around two sides of the factory. This arrangement thoughtfully curates the public space, enhancing the factory’s historical ambiance. The steps look on the plaza space providing the dense center with a multi-purpose performance space.
