\nLocation: Axis of Serrano-Concha Espina streets.
\nDistrict of Chamart\u00edn. Neighborhood of El Viso.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an area (\u201ccolonia\u201d) of single-family houses with sober facades intended for upper-middle class intellectuals and professionals of the time. It is currently one of the most exclusive areas in Madrid where you can find also some apartment buildings.<\/p>\n

\nLocation: 33 O’donnell Street.
\nDistrict of Salamanca. Goya neighborhood.<\/p>\n
It was the first residential building in Madrid to have air conditioning besides other aesthetic and architectural innovations. On each floor there is a spacious single south-facing apartment with 2 large stepped terraces opening onto O’Donnell Street. Each floor is completed with an office facing north, with independent access but also with internal housing-office communication.<\/p>\n

Author: Jos\u00e9 Antonio Coderch and Manuel Vals.
\nLocation: Jos\u00e9 Ortega y Gasset, 23.
\nDistrict of Salamanca. Neighborhood of Castellana.<\/p>\n
Currently in the middle of the city Golden Mile.
\nIt\u2019s a building with undulating walls that look for the afternoon sun in an original building that breaks with the typical block courtyards of the area and creates an original schematic solution.<\/p>\n

Author: Francisco Javier S\u00e1enz de Oiza.
\nLocation: Coraz\u00f3n de Mar\u00eda, 2.
\nDistrict of Chamart\u00edn. Neighborhood of Prosperidad.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s perfectly visible when entering Madrid from the airport through the A2 highway, on the right. It is a unique building in its conception, a skyscraper that seems to grow organically, like a concrete tree. It groups different types of typologies: apartments, flats and duplexes. As a curiosity of potential tenants: many of the rooms are round-shaped.<\/p>\n
Also from Saenz de Oiza are the Banco de Bilbao building in AZCA and the IFEMA Exhibition Centre.<\/p>\n

Authors: Luis Guti\u00e9rrez Soto and Eugenio Guti\u00e9rrez Santos
\nLocation: Men\u00e9ndez Pelayo Avenue
\nDistrict of Retiro, Barrio del Ni\u00f1o Jes\u00fas<\/p>\n
The building consists of commercial premises on the ground floor, offices on the first floor, apartments on the second and third floors and flats from the fourth floor onwards. All apartments have views of the Retiro Park and garden terraces that contrast with the brick of the fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n
In addition to this tower, Luis Guti\u00e9rrez Soto was the author of numerous residential buildings in Madrid such as<\/p>\n

Authors: Jose Antonio Corrales and Ram\u00f3n V\u00e1zquez Molez\u00fan
\nLocation: Balbina Valverde Street
\nDistrict of Chamart\u00edn, Barrio de El Viso<\/p>\n
The main fa\u00e7ade is south oriented, obtaining the greatest sunshine of each apartment and it\u2019s relatively isolated of the street as it does not follow the boundaries of the plot. The building structure allows great freedom in every floor lay out combining window closed projecting areas, terraces and corner windows that together with the tones of the fa\u00e7ade and the landscaping of the garden manage to mitigate the impact of the volumetry in an area of single-family homes (El Viso).<\/p>\n
He was also the author of, among others, the Ayala, 13 residential building, the Stella Swimming Pool in Arturo Soria (visible from M-30) and his private home in Somosaguas.<\/p>\n

\nLocation: On the corner of Retiro Park, at the confluence of Men\u00e9ndez Pelayo and O’donnell streets.
\nDistrict of Retiro. Neighbourhood of Ibiza.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the building that appears in all the photos taken at Puerta de Alcal\u00e1 from Cibeles. It has a 3-storey base dedicated to commercial purposes and a 25-storey tower with 91 homes with areas between 100 and 280 sq ms. Its lay out allows the same orientation and views of the Park from most of the apartments.<\/p>\n

Authors: Fernando Higueras and Antonio Mir\u00f3.
Location: Glorieta de San Bernardo.
District of Centro. Neighborhood of Universidad.<\/p>\n
Very visible residential building for being close to some commercial areas such Princesa and the most avant-garde of Fuencarral and Chueca and leisure areas as well. A novel and surprising mix of concrete blocks and vegetation that cascades down the fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n
