Located in a privileged area close to the Ciudad Universitaria, in the district of Moncloa, this project is the result of the remodelling of an old hospital and will convert the building into a fantastic student residence with 250 rooms and common areas.

Syllâbus will carry out the implementation of this student residence consisting of 250 rooms with private bathroom and common areas designed in detail: swimming pool, garden, fitness area, common kitchens, coworking space and multifunctional and relaxation spaces.

Whenever we talk about rehabilitation, there is a degree of uncertainty that follows the project from its generation to its construction; and an intense technical work during the whole process, far superior to a new building project. The building, built in phases over the last century, had 3 different bodies in form and style. The idea of covering them with a common criterion seemed inevitable, an outer layer that would not be too destructive in order to fit in with the conservative Chamberí neighbourhood. The interior of its courtyards and spaces, however, should speak of the freshness of its promoter, Syllabus, and of the function it was to house: a student residence. 

Whether you're an ordinary pedestrian or the most renowned architect globally, there's an undeniable allure to the morning sun streaming through your window or the mesmerizing forms sculpted by light filtering through various elements. It's a moment charged with vitality and significance, transcending mundane routines. Our aim is to imbue every resident of this dwelling with that same sense of wonder and purpose. Hence, we've devised a solution in the form of a perforated skin that dynamically adjusts, opening and closing in harmony with the sun's orientation and the desired interplay between interior and exterior vistas. 

The design of this residential complex in the heart of Malaga's historic center is a tribute to the city's rich architectural heritage. Drawing inspiration from the traditional residential compounds that dot the urban landscape, our building reimagines the essence of communal living within a contemporary framework.

At the heart of the design lies a central courtyard, serving as the focal point around which the rooms are arranged. This courtyard not only infuses the living spaces with natural light and ventilation but also fosters a sense of community and connection among the residents. It harks back to the intimate squares and courtyards found in traditional Spanish towns, providing a tranquil oasis amidst the bustling cityscape.

One of the crowning features of the residence is its rooftop, offering breathtaking vistas of the majestic cathedral that dominates the skyline. This panoramic view serves as a constant reminder of the city's rich history and cultural significance, inviting residents to pause and reflect on their surroundings.
