MVRDV - Celosia Residence

MVRDV & Blance Lleo's design for the Celosia Residence in Madrid has been realized. The apartment building was developed by EMVS, a Madrid city public housing company. The building is situated around a large central courtyard, and is cut up into 30 staggered 'blocks'. Courtyards are abound on every level between the blocks, creating fantastic outdoor communal areas and an interesting facade. The exterior has a unique sheen, achieved by apolyurethane coated concrete.

The Mirador housing project, completed a few years ago can be seen in the distance in the last photo.

146 Units
232,000 sq ft.

($81 per sq ft.)
