"SUMA Arquitectura Designs Innovative Shelf Houses"
Our-Shelves Apartments is a cooperative housing development for young professionals in Madrid, designed by SUMA Architecture. The building contains 8 duplex apartments with 3 bedrooms, staggered rooms, and elevator service on all floors. Each apartment has a private outdoor space, a garden on the ground floor, and a large terrace on the penthouses. The wooden structure is "socialized" becoming elements of sun protection, control of views and privacy, integrated furniture, etc. The staggered floors improve communication between rooms and visual connections with terraces and gardens, making the apartments a reflection of families' awareness of the sustainable world they live in.
