Spacecoop had the pleasure to work side by side with L35 Architects and AEDAS Homes on the residential development of Korys in Madrid.

The project was successfully presented last week by the L35 team. Spacecoop has followed all the design phases along the architectural team.

We just received some news on the refurbishment of Freeport Fashion Outlet in Lisbon!

We’re almost done with the construction — just the final touches left. It’s looking amazing. Can’t wait to see the finished result.

Last Saturday, October 4th, the renovation of the leisure center Diversia, located in Alcobendas, was inaugurated. Spacecoop was the studio responsible for the design of the outdoor areas. It has been a great success.

Le Carrousel's Cultural Plaza taking shape - so good to see the site busy again and spaces being created! placemaking is a privilege and an absolute necessity for social connection and well-being in today's world of "screen staring".

The Sustainable Sites Initiative™ (SITES™) is a program based on the understanding that land is a crucial component of the built environment and can be planned, designed, developed and maintained to avoid, mitigate and even reverse these detrimental impacts.

Unlike buildings, built landscapes and green infrastructure have the ability to protect and even regenerate natural systems, thereby enhancing the ecosystem services they provide.
The SITES Rating System can be applied to projects located in different locations and of different typology, including:
- Open spaces: local, state and national parks, botanical gardens and arboretums.
- Streetscapes and plazas
- Commercial: retail and office areas; corporate campuses.
- Residential: individual neighbourhoods or yards
- Educational/Institutional: public and private campuses; museums; hospitals.
- Infrastructure.
--Governmental:
- Industrial
- Etc.

A. Again, a connection with the surroundings, with the sun and the sky above is a necessary complement for a building - and sometimes even more important than the building itself. And this connection becomes very exciting when outdoors and indoors merge into one design where landscaping does not stop at the skin of the building. The way outdoor areas contribute to sustainability, lower carbon footprint and climate control is almost self-evident, but this can only succeed when design responds specifically and efficiently to each different environment.

Q. Over the next few years how do you see L35 and your subconsultant’s (Spacecoop) role adapt to environmental factors such as climate change? ie. earlier integration into project team/design process, take lead on all external sustainable issues, green certification…

A. A response to climate change and scarce energy resources, together with the challenges of urban growth are possibly the most important priorities for architects now. Spacecoop is a good partner when addressing these issues and that’s why we always try to bring them in at the very early stages of design. Let’s be humble and not forget that design is not just architecture plus landscaping. We work mostly with large projects that are the result of a complex collaboration that involves engineers of all disciplines, construction specialists, manufacturers, economic planners, project managers, often politicians… and of course clients.

Q. What do you think about Spacecoop taking more of a lead role in guiding urban infrastructure in your projects?

A. I would say their role is already important in many ways. We do not really separate architecture from landscaping or from interior design, so a good concept involves everything. Spacecoop is also ready to listen to our own ideas and process them into their design. It’s a two-way street.

Q. Have Spacecoop met professional expectations in the projects you have overseen?

A.  Design is always subject to many factors including the client’s preferences or budget limitations. We can’t do always everything we want and we confront these challenges together. It can be easier or more difficult, but the answer is definitely yes.

Q. What do you think are Spacecoop strengths and weakness?

A. Spacecooop design capabilities are truly excellent. They invariably add to the design and this is what we expect from a team member (I am not very fond of the word “consultant”). And since I am asked to mention one weakness, this could be the “online conference” approach to work, which is sometimes harder than a traditional face-to-face workshop… But at the same time online tools are essential when working globally and I think we are succeeding because these guys are always available, they are flexible and communication flows very well. And by the way, if the project calls for it, Spacecoop is ready to have a landscape architect come and work at our office. They are anything but rigid and we appreciate that.

Q. What does Spacecoop add to L35 projects?

A. Creative ideas of course. Whether it as about scale, shape, about hardscape solutions or about planting, their contribution almost invariably brings something fresh and powerful to the character of the project. And beyond creativity, their technical know-how is very solid and this is quite important for us.

Q. How do you build on this established collaboration to ensure a continued healthy working relationship?

A. We work in a true team spirit based on mutual recognition and trust. Sometimes we are too demanding, but I hope James and Luis will keep bearing with us! We enjoy the working relationship and hope to continue bringing Spacecoop’s talent into our projects.

Spacecoop are currently working with Estudio Lamela on Colonial’s Méndez Álvaro office and residential complex in the South of Madrid, the largest of its type in the Metropolitan area. A total area of 13,000m2 combines sustainable landscaped communal plazas and garden spaces that will encourage collaboration and healthy living. At the heart of the office public realm is a loop of restaurants that a frame a vibrant central open green space enhancing the complex with a unique sense of place.

Spacecoop were commissioned to design the entrances sequences to the new Alburouj integrated community of 485Ha located in East Cairo providing luxurious green transitions into the heart of the townhouse complex.
