In the Real Madrid “Sports City”, as part of an ambitious project developed by the prestigious Estudio Lamela, two residential buildings were built using industrialised construction systems:
Residence for the First Team
This educational complex measures 14,000m2 and is situated within a developed area of 40,000m2 including sports facilities.
Designed by the architects Gemma Vidal and Rodrigo Alaminos and located in the centre of Corró d’Avall in Les Franqueses del Vallès, this building has a total floor area of 2000m2 and was completed in a period of 4 months.
The need to complete the building on a tight schedule in order to have it ready for the next school year was a key factor for choosing an industrialised construction system using 3D components manufactured by Modultec in Gijón.
The company La Casa por El Tejado developed an interesting and innovative urban design in the centre of Barcelona where, given the scarcity of urban land available for the construction of new buildings, they carried out an exhaustive market study and found more than 100,000m2 of potential additional building space available on the roofs of buildings.
Employing a novel form of agreement with the building owners and neighbourhood communities, they bought up the roof rights and were thus able to not only develop in central areas of the city, but also assist in the rehabilitation of existing buildings.
